tbh

arctic jungle
#

@next kestrel no spending 1.5k on a second stream PC is a waste

#

spend as much as you need on a main one

stoic island
#

it makes sense if you want a second PC that your friends can play on if they come over

little osprey
#

@next kestrel my opinion on that is that 10c for 450$ like the 10850k is good and a good value

stoic island
#

or a second PC for other things

next kestrel
#

550$ is the 5900x

little osprey
#

10850k is a 10900k for 100$ less

next kestrel
#

12 core 24 thread with supposedly better single thread perfs

little osprey
#

yeah but it depends

#

on the price

next kestrel
#

10850k is also lower binned

stoic island
#

10850k is a 10900k that isn't good enough bin

next kestrel
#

one of the advantages of intel is the overclocking

#

that brings cpus like 10600k to the 10900k single thread levels

little osprey
#

yeah

next kestrel
#

and 10850k you're kinda confirming that you can't overclock much

little osprey
#

i mean if you can buy it for 100 dollars less and you can overclock it to 5.0 ghz on basically all units

#

and more

north umbra
#

Hey guys im planning to build my first pc which cpu is the best overall and is going to last longer and future proof?

stoic island
#

10850k was literally because Intel couldn't make enough chips that were good enough to be 10900k

#

@north umbra wait for Zen 3 benchmarks

#

those are posed to be great

covert pewter
#

Can someone make me a 1000$ dollar list

stoic island
#

when building

north umbra
#

Ok sure im currently using my 12 year old computer with a intel i5 560m

#

An*

next kestrel
stoic island
#

fun

little osprey
#

@next kestrel would you buy a 10850k over a 10900k for 100$ less. i mean you aren't a person who wants to overclock a cpu to 5,2ghz or 5,3

next kestrel
#

i wouldnt buy a 10 core cpu in general no

little osprey
#

5,1ghz if you are lucky is the sweetspot if you haven't a custom watercooled pc

stoic island
#

the issue isn't 10850k vs 10900k

next kestrel
#

because i dont do much other than play games

stoic island
#

the issue is 10850k vs 5900x, remember?

little osprey
#

yeah i know

stoic island
#

we're saying 10850k isn't equal to 10900k, so we can't be comparing 10900k to 5900x.

next kestrel
#

in the case that I had a 4.5k budget to build 2 computers

#

i would

little osprey
#

@stoic island i know what you want to say

stoic island
#

:)

#

anyways

#

back to the start

#

@spark raven what do you want to do with the second PC? Just streaming?

#

because seriously a 600$ or 800$ second PC would do just fine for streaming.

little osprey
#

yeah you only need a pc with a gtx 1060 or less and a entry level cpu and a capture card

stoic island
#

I'd get at least a 1660 super or 2060 for gud nvenc

little osprey
#

oh completely forgotten

#

@stoic island should i return my 10850k order then?

stoic island
#

hm?

#

Not really unless you want to try your luck at 5900x

#

it's not a bad chip by any means

#

it just might not compare well to 5900x from what we've been told so far.

little osprey
#

but will all x570 or b550 bords be compatible to zen3 out of the box

#

because they need a bios update

stoic yacht
#

hello

stoic island
#

@little osprey A bit complicated, b550/x570 with AGESA 1.0.8 (already out since like two month ago) can boot with Zen 3, but they suggest AGESA 1.1.0 for good perf with Zen 3

little osprey
#

this shit's complicated

#

do you have some boards like that

cold sierra
#

I want to switch to ryzen but im stuck with an i7 for now:/

little osprey
#

i cany only think of high end asus msi or gigabyte boards

stoic island
#

hm?

#

it's a bios update

#

for all motherboards

#

AGESA code updates that is

#

for example brb

stoic yacht
#

you guys have any recomanation for a 1660 brand?

north umbra
#

Which cpu last longer amd or intel?

stoic yacht
#

i think intel

cold sierra
#

you guys have any recomanation for a 1660 brand?
@stoic yacht you can find good deals for 2080s right now

stoic yacht
#

but thats my opinion

wanton pebble
#

can anyone tell me if this is good for me to buy for editing and gaming

stoic island
stoic yacht
#

actually @cold sierra

little osprey
#

@stoic yacht Msi Gigabyte and EVGA

stoic island
#

@wanton pebble I'd wait for benchmarks for new Zen 3 chips and grab one of those

cold sierra
#

Yeah I got my 2080 duke oc for 500

little osprey
#

@stoic island thanks

stoic island
#

that list looks like it'll be out of date soon

stoic yacht
#

How on amazon 2080s are over 1000

cold sierra
#

Just look around market place and second hand

stoic island
#

especially the 2070 super

#

@stoic yacht used market

stoic yacht
#

oh

little osprey
#

a h710 is a case which is really a hotbox

stoic yacht
#

i wantewd to get a 1660 for my cousin but i have a ZOTAC 2070

little osprey
#

a 360mm aio is in my opinion too much for the r5 3600

#

take the h510i or non i with the kraken x63

cold sierra
#

Ah I see

#

I would look at the used market you can get insane deals

wanton pebble
#

@stoic island it is i am not sure to wait for the 3090 from evga or to get a 2080ti

stoic island
#

uh what

cold sierra
#

Like my pc only cost about 1200 to build when I have a 2080 inside and can use it well

stoic island
#

please do not get a 2080ti

#

please don't

#

get a 3080 maybe

little osprey
#

3080 is the best value option

stoic yacht
#

i wanted to get a 3080 but these stupid bots just get it instantly

little osprey
#

if you a patient then wait it is worth it

stoic island
#

I mean

cold sierra
#

I dont think it worth the upgrade for me just too expensive right now and I will just get the next gen when it comes

stoic island
#

I've seen them in stock before

arctic jungle
#

@stoic island did the thing load yet?

stoic island
#

no real way to tell you how many you can daisy chain or go with off a single header

arctic jungle
#

pshshhshshshshshsh

stoic yacht
#

i seen a kid buy a prebuild pc on amazon and it had a i9 9900k with a 3090 and he smashed it and he was proud the total of the pc was 7000+

stoic island
#

lol

#

lmfao

little osprey
#

💀

stoic yacht
#

i was crying

stoic island
#

7000$

#

wow

stoic yacht
#

imagine

stoic island
#

that's worth like 4000$ MAX

little osprey
#

man i'm dying

stoic island
#

2500$ if you build it

stoic yacht
#

ik

stoic island
#

4000$ would be like with Prebuild margins

#

and it's actually 7000$

little osprey
#

is it custom watercooled

stoic yacht
#

no

#

aio cooled

little osprey
#

that's tough

stoic yacht
#

ikr

wheat axle
#

hey guys! now that the 3070 benchmarks are released do u think i could get around 200 fps 1080p?

#

warzone and other fps btw

stoic yacht
#

he smshed it bc it had a 200w power supply and yhim being the dumb person he is he decided not to change it to a better one then smash it

hazy rune
#

Depends on your cpu @wheat axle

wheat axle
#

uhh im gonna buy a 5800x most likely

#

if i can get one that is

stoic island
#

o damn

#

GN got a review out that I didn't catch

#

I gotta go see that

little osprey
#

@stoic yacht 200 whaaat

wheat axle
#

otherwise i already have a 3800x'

arctic jungle
#

@stoic island any guesses as to how much stuff I can put on a single header

stoic island
#

no idea

little osprey
#

i'm watching GN video to rtx 3070

stoic island
#

I don't know per-rgb current ratings, nor the per-header current ratings

#

I only saw LTT earlier today

#

so I watched that rq

#

and it gave like nothing useful

little osprey
#

yeah you know it's Linus

stoic island
#

RDR2 1080p fps does not give you 200fps but other less-intensive games will likely be fine @wheat axle

wheat axle
#

is warzone less intensive?

stoic island
#

hell yea

#

rdr2 is really really intensive

#

compared to FPS games

wheat axle
#

oh ok great i think im gonna try to preorder it when it launches

#

thanks!

stoic yacht
#

can someone buy me nitro

stoic island
#

@stoic yacht just help people and they'll buy you nitro >:D

stoic yacht
#

oh ok!

#

how old r u guys

outer heart
#

you want a higher core/ boost clock correct?

stoic island
#

@outer heart for what

outer heart
#

gpus

#

should have been more clear lol

uneven blade
#

Is 750W enough for an ASUS TUF 3080 OC and a 5800x?

stoic island
#

Like what GPUs

#

need specific

outer heart
#

3070 and 2060s

stoic island
#

@uneven blade we're not completely sure on 5800x power usage, it should be fine, but for a new build, grab a revolution D.F. 850w for 130$

#

@outer heart it's really hard to compare clocks to clocks accross generations

little osprey
#

@stoic yacht if you're asking then you first

stoic island
#

and remember the core count differences

uneven blade
#

Because the ASUS website recommends an 850W power supply and EVGA reccomends 750W but they both have the same listed wattage

outer heart
#

oh yeah

little osprey
#

i will use a gaming x trio rtx 3080 with 10850k on a 750 watt

stoic island
#

@uneven blade focus on the word recommend

#

says nothing about need

uneven blade
#

I'm confused what do you mean new?

stoic island
#

dunno why I typed new when I wanted to say need

uneven blade
#

Becaause I already got a 750W power supply because the EVGA 3080s recommend 750W but I've been waiting for a long time so i'm prepared to buy an ASUS but it recommends 850W so I don't know if it will run

stoic island
#

if you already have it, wait for 5800x reviews on power consumption

#

watch GN, they'll 99% do power consumption testing on it.

uneven blade
#

I bought my power supply from Best Buy and its the SeaSonic Focus Gold 750 so i don't know if I can return it and get an 850W

stoic island
#

there's a good chance it'll work fine

#

5800x tdp is listed as 105w

uneven blade
#

Were you referring to a 750 or 850W?

clear cradle
#

When Ryzen 3 4200G came out?

stoic island
#

750w should work fine

stoic yacht
stoic island
#

(TDP Does not tell you about real power draw, for example, 10900k tdp is like 125w, but with a slight all core OC, it's 300w draw)

#

@stoic yacht I'm going to hope the right side monitor is the main monitor and is parallel with the wall

stoic yacht
#

well idk

#

he sent me it

stoic island
#

and where's the mousepad lol

little osprey
#

well its clean

stoic yacht
#

i cann show you my setu

uneven blade
#

I went online and got on a wattage calculator and I put in a Ryzen 9 3900x and a 3080 and it came out to like 550W I think

little osprey
#

i like clean and colourful setups

stoic island
#

and by the way

little osprey
#

pls use this they are exagerating

stoic island
#

that picture is on a lot of websites, so I wouldn't doubt if it's not his @stoic yacht

#

@little osprey meh, I like pcpartpicker's wattage calculator

#

or just doing it yourself

#

CPU draw+GPU draw+~100w system draw

little osprey
#

they say a 10900k with a 3080 will use 1000w

stoic island
#

who?

uneven blade
#

I can tell they are exaggerating they are saying it will use 743 W

stoic island
#

3080 FE draw is around 320w, 375w OC. 10900k 125w tdp, 300w OC.

#

so that's 675w CPU+GPU draw OCed, then plus 100w system draw, so like 775w total system draw.

stoic yacht
#

This is my setup

#

Can y’all rate

#

It

#

Cables are ok

stoic island
#

I don't like the look of the case tbh

stoic yacht
#

its a lian-li case

#

forgot the model

#

thingg

#

ik im using the top panel usbs

uneven blade
#

Should I just see if I can return my power supply, I think I can get it back in the box the way it came, the only thing I don't have is a little plastic bag that came with it

stoic yacht
#

just teporary

little osprey
#

its ok

stoic yacht
#

wow

#

thansk

#

i thought i was gonna get bullied

stoic island
#

@uneven blade I'd wait for testing first

little osprey
#

its clean but the cables should be better managed

stoic yacht
#

for having this

#

but thank you

stoic island
#

750w should be fine

#

I only have 2 real issues I see

uneven blade
#

ok

stoic yacht
#

wait

#

the stickers

#

or the actual consle

uneven blade
#

The problem is there is a chance I'll get an opporotunity to get a 3080 before the 5000 series comes out

stoic island
#

the console

stoic yacht
#

oh

#

what about it

stoic island
#

and the case kinda bothers me tbh

stoic yacht
#

ik man

stoic island
#

it just doesn't fit there

#

idrc about cable management as long as it's not in the way

#

and I think the PC should go where the console is, with front fans facing you.

stoic yacht
#

yea

little osprey
#

i mean everbody have their opinion on the looks of cases

stoic yacht
#

i can sya specs

#

if you want

uneven blade
#

If I got an 850W PSU, would I be pretty much guaranteed a powerful enough PSU?

stoic island
#

@little osprey I mean how the case is positioned bothers me

#

I don't want to see the back of the front fan

#

@uneven blade unless AMD decides 3800x will draw 400w, yea basically.

#

Revolution d.f. 850w for 130$ is good

uneven blade
#

I don't plan to overclock so yeah

stoic yacht
#

ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4S

little osprey
#

@stoic island ahh okay

deep skiff
#

i mean u could get a 850w psu from like taobao or something that is worse than a solid 550w psu but usually a 850w should be a decent psu

winter marsh
stoic yacht
#

ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4S PowerSpec/Lian Li ATX 205 Intel Core i7 9700KF (3.6GHz) 32GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 750 Watt those are the specs for my pc

#

are they good?

uneven blade
#

I was thinking of going with a SeaSonic Gold 850 because I might be able to get an exchange at BestBuy

stoic island
#

Gara what

#

@uneven blade eh GX850w or like GM850w would be decent

winter marsh
#

Enermax is a name brand that's been around even sold in Comp USA, but not known as a high end like SeaSonic

sullen spoke
stoic island
#

It's not known, doesn't make it bad

#

and that again

deep skiff
sullen spoke
#

Nice handwriting haha

winter marsh
#

Yeah I was saying the same thing about my Apex Gaming Gold 850 yet....

deep skiff
#

thank you i wrote it on ms paint at midnight

sullen spoke
stoic island
#

lol

#

well the thing is

sullen spoke
#

You can always check psu tier list

stoic island
#

@winter marsh Revolution D.F. is listed as A tier on PSU tier list, only PSUs from Apexgaming are in tier D.

uneven blade
#

I'm just gonna keep my 750W and if I need to upgrade PSU's its only like $20-$30 more

stoic island
#

So that would be where we get our "Apexgaming isn't as good" thing from, if we had any

#

yea

#

that works

stoic yacht
#

ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4S Lian Li ATX 205 Intel Core i7 9700KF (3.6GHz) 32GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 750 Watt those are the specs for my pc can yall rate them?

little leaf
#

Is that a list

stoic island
#

current pc

#

or building the pc

little leaf
#

Or current

stoic yacht
#

thats my current pc

stoic island
#

not bad

little leaf
#

Fine could’ve got better for price

sullen spoke
#

Model matter more than brand, but there can be cases where some brand tend to be good or bad with few outliers

#

what is clock and latency on ram

winter marsh
#

I'm Mr. Mom everyday with a empty Fratal Disign mid tower off my left armrest, a Cougar MX410 housing my X570 build, a Zalman S4 Plus housing my z97 build, a Sama midtower I upgraded to a Msi z97, plus six more active pc builds around the room

stoic island
#

@sullen spoke "clock" is just frequency

sullen spoke
#

yes

winter marsh
#

I am basically swimming in pc tech and toddler toy brawls

sullen spoke
#

i mean like the specs he list

stoic island
#

latency usually talks about cas latency, mainly about number of cycles before read and write operations.

sullen spoke
#

lol

stoic island
#

ah

sullen spoke
#

just 32gb

stoic island
#

that was just kinda random question

#

so I answered it >:P

sullen spoke
#

i should specify more xD

stoic island
#

96000 btw

torpid belfry
#

Im building my first pc and am wondering if i can ask anyone if they know some parts i haved picked out will work together

fast dust
#

sure. ask away. send the list

vague maple
#

mhmm

torpid belfry
little leaf
#

No that is pretty bad

#

and use pcpp

fast dust
#

oh boy

#

that needs some work

#

whats your budget? $800?

torpid belfry
#

900$

#

thanks yall

vague maple
#

jesus christ

#

you gotta change pretty much everything lmao

torpid belfry
#

ok this is why i asked

fast dust
#

this thing literally is like 4x better than your other one lmao

torpid belfry
#

ok thank you

vague maple
#

i swapped out the case for a masterbox argb mATX case which has 2 fans presinstalled and used the excess cash for a 500 gig nvme drive

#

@torpid belfry @fast dust

fast dust
#

SN550 doesnt have DRAM

#

its not a good ssd

vague maple
#

oh ok

#

lemme look for a better one

#

what about the crucial p2?

fast dust
#

p2 is pretty good

#

is the MP34 around that price?

#

if so, get that instead

#

and the meshify C has 2 fans btw, and its full ATX, leaving room for upgrade

vague maple
#

yeah but i would take the masterbox and a 500 gig nvme over the meshify c

stoic island
#

@fast dust usually it's p2 60$ and mp34 63$ so

#

Hi,

#

I need to have discussion on Cisco ASR 1001

#

anyone can help me out?

stoic island
#

You can ask your question, someone will answer :)

little osprey
#

hey does anyone know if a cooler master liquid aio work with a asrock z390 pro4?

stoic island
#

@little osprey if it includes lga1151 mounting, you just need to check if the case will fit.

stark ridge
#

I have 1Gig ISP UP/Down internet connection, i need router/firewall who can give up/down of atleast 1 Gig speed.
i'm thinking to give Cisco ASR1001 1001 Aggregation Services Router.

little osprey
#

cool thanks

stoic island
#

What kind of specs do you need it to have in terms of ports?

stark ridge
#

i need 1 Gig

Anyone know what SFP is best used with HPE JL357A#ABA Aruba IOT Ready 2540 48-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet 4 SFP+ Switch?

deep skiff
#

nr200p is like 100 but has a glass side panel and a riser cable but its usually oos @trail ravine

torpid belfry
little osprey
#

why that ram

#

just get the g.skill ripjaws

trail ravine
#

^

torpid belfry
#

i thought i did

#

oops

little osprey
#

get a cheaper ssd

trail ravine
#

ooh comes w/ a pci riser

#

now i'm considering it

torpid belfry
#

considering what

little osprey
#

i forgot

#

but if mr1111 comes back online

torpid belfry
#

and what ssd you think @little osprey

little osprey
#

ask him for cheap ssd

#

recommendations

torpid belfry
#

ok

little osprey
#

but u could stick with the one u have if u want

#

ur choice

#

well i have a test so cya

potent prairie
#

Cheapest or best value ssd?

torpid belfry
#

value prob

potent prairie
#

Look at the MP34 or SN750, whichever is cheaper

torpid belfry
#

ok

potent prairie
#

If that's too pricey, I can recommend some cheaper ones that aren't bad

torpid belfry
#

ok brb

potent prairie
#

mp34 is probably best for that build. About the same price as the WD blue and way better

torpid belfry
#

yeah thats what ill go with

potent prairie
#

Also maybe look at a cheap b450 or b550 board vs that A series one

torpid belfry
#

other then that anything else you would change

#

oops ok

potent prairie
#

you can use the $14 you save on that to get a cheap b450 instead

for motherboard do you think gigabyte b450m ds3h

#

@potent prairie

potent prairie
#

It's ok. I would prefer a tuf board, but that's fine

torpid belfry
#

ill look at the tuff ones

potent prairie
#

I wouldn't bother if it's too much more

little osprey
#

Do yall know the cheapest streaming build? The one I put together on partpicker is 800$ but I'm sure theres cheaper, it includes accessories too btw.

foggy hazel
#

it all comes back to what you deem "acceptable" stream performance

little osprey
#

True

foggy hazel
#

and why do you need the "cheapest streaming build"?

little osprey
#

I'm poor but I wanna start streaming

foggy hazel
#

a gpu with Nvenc and off you go

little osprey
#

Ight thanks!

foggy hazel
#

you are welcome

little osprey
#

for motherboard do you think gigabyte b450m ds3h
@torpid belfry get the b550m ds3h

#

if u can

everything

#

tbh

still works

desert gulch

o hi naed

foggy hazel
#

you can keep following:

desert gulch
#

naed can help

foggy hazel
#

psu, monitor, case ssd

#

those can be used for some builds

desert gulch
#

ye

foggy hazel
#

the rest are just "dead end" parts

desert gulch
#

its ddr3 sigh

foggy hazel
#

that does NOT mean they cannot work just fine

#

just that there are limits to what you can "get" from them

desert gulch
#

ye if its working fine for you then thats good

safe magnet
#

got it i got the 980ti for 1000 when it was new lol

desert gulch
#

wow

safe magnet
#

now its trash

foggy hazel
#

ah, sorry, that one you can obviously keep.

#

i thought i had that in the list at the start :)

desert gulch
#

wasnt the 980ti like 700 new?

#

when launched?

yeah usd i spent 1000 on my gphx card 4-5 years ago

desert gulch
#

wow

foggy hazel
#

whoever sold it for that amount to you, thanked you all the way to the bank

desert gulch
#

yeas

foggy hazel
#

and on a holiday after it

desert gulch
#

unless its a 980ti lightning

safe magnet
#

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980Ti 6GB G1 Gaming OC Edition

#

that's straight from past orders in new egg maybe i got ripped off a little

fringe kayak
#

does the i7-10700k bottleneck the 3080?

foggy hazel
#

does it matter @fringe kayak ?

fringe kayak
#

i mean

#

it does because im asking

foggy hazel
#

you can make any card bottleneck any cpu

#

and vice versa

fringe kayak
#

is it a good pairing then

foggy hazel
#

its good enough. if you are dead set on going intel and cannot wait about a weeks time

desert gulch
#

ye

#

the new zen 3 does looks promising tho

fringe kayak
#

alright

desert gulch
#

if you can wait

#

its out on nov 5

fringe kayak
#

ive never used amd i dont think

desert gulch
#

the new 5950x looks like it beats the 10900k in single and mulitcore

#

so

still roostBOT

ebon summit
#

Guys I still haven't found a good prebuilt for 1k or less

#

This is the best I got so far but its intel

vital warren
#

b u i l d

ebon summit
#

NO

#

I will never unless upgrading

vital warren
#

rip performance

foggy hazel
#

@ebon summit you are looking for a unicorn in a country that hunts unicorns for sport

little osprey
#

rip

ebon summit
#

The thing is the hardest game i play is r6 siege

#

Why built for something like that

little osprey
#

i thought nzxt had a amd version of this prebuilt

ebon summit
#

I wish

#

I was looking at ryzen pcs too but this is still better being wifi built in and stream ready

stoic island
#

Building is just cheaper and better smh

little osprey
#

i mean its fun to build a pc

#

Yes

#

and you can say to everybody that you build it yourselve

ebon summit
#

I dont want to spend hours building a pc that might not even work

#

Thats the truth

vital warren
#

compared to that i5 9400f/2060 for a thousand, you could build like a ryzen 5 3600 + 3070

#

or whatever amd has

ebon summit
#

I want a pc built and ready for me

vital warren
#

a lot more performance

stoic island
#

Then do you want to spend hours trying to figure out what's wrong with a PC that was shipped to you?

ebon summit
little osprey
#

just watch jayztwocents

ebon summit
#

I found this too

vital warren
#

building a computer looks intimidating but it's really not

stoic island
#

Because there's also a good chance the prebuilt has issues too

ebon summit
#

@stoic island I could ship it back lol

vital warren
#

a few youtube videos and you understand most of building tbh

stoic island
#

So you want to wait 2 weeks for a replacement rather than spend 2 hours debugging?

little osprey
#

just buy the nzxt one its more reliable

ebon summit
#

I live in the same state as nzxt

#

So not really waiting 2 weeks

languid nimbus
#

heard mixed things about Skytech

little osprey
#

skytech is bad

ebon summit
#

I probably will go with the nzxt

vital warren
#

ahh my head

ebon summit
#

The only thing is its intel and I heard its not the best for streaming

little osprey
#

they are using really cheap components

ebon summit
#

But it does say its stream ready

stoic island
#

Then do you think NZXT can fix your things up in under 2 hours :p

little osprey
#

you dont need cpu for streaming

#

you need the nvenc encoder

#

on the gpu

stoic island
#

Nvenc op

vital warren
#

something like this

#

so much more

#

power

ebon summit
#

The gpu is good on it or no

stoic island
#

@vital warren where's the 170$ coming from

ebon summit
#

The 2060

stoic island
#

2060 at 1000$? Not really

vital warren
#

i'm trusting the 3600 goes back down

little osprey
#

@stoic island is it too much?

vital warren
#

i aint paying 200 for it

stoic island
#

Lol

ebon summit
#

@stoic island overpriced or just not good

stoic island
#

It was on walmart for 170$

ebon summit
#

Because the fps for the games i had was amazing

languid nimbus
#

i think nvidia recommends 650w for 3070 though

little osprey
#

but with a low end cpu 600 is enough

languid nimbus
#

though i know its just 50w, lol

stoic island
#

@ebon summit I'm pretty sure the 2060 NZXT offers is ventus, which has a thin heatsink and likes to overheat

little osprey
#

i think they tested it with the 10980x

vital warren
#

ventus ew

stoic island
#

Oh it might not be

#

B365 board

#

Meaning 2666mhz max speed

little osprey
#

ah yeah

languid nimbus
stoic island
#

Sad

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey "but with a low end cpu 600 is enough" <- even with a high end cpu, 550 would be plenty.

little osprey
#

i thought that ram speed isn't really important on intel

foggy hazel
#

the 3070 is well below 300 watts

little osprey
#

@foggy hazel you're right

ebon summit
#

So the nxzt pro is trash?

stoic island
#

Iirc it's 220w tdp

ebon summit
#

Hm

little osprey
#

but 200 watt over the actual power consumption of the pc is better

stoic island
#

@ebon summit I haven't seen a good prebuild in ages other than the occasionnal good one on sale

ebon summit
#

Should I just buy a new egg one?

foggy hazel
#

the only good (as in, the parts are actually good) are generally very expensive

wary geode
#

There was one that was 3700x and 2060 super for 1000 I think I can find it

foggy hazel
#

none of what has been said here excludes newegg.

#

@wary geode if its the one i think it is, its using some 300 series chipset board

wary geode
#

Yeah that’s the thing that was a issue when I reviewed it and a 550watt psu

foggy hazel
#

iirc, the psu was also no-name and the ram was ... politely put, very silly

#

3000mhz or something like that

ebon summit
#

Is this better

stoic island
#

1660ti is a step backwards lol

#

We don't tell you building yourself is better for no reason

little osprey
#

does it got the new nvenc encoder

stoic island
#

I think 16xx has the same nvenc as 10xx, @foggy hazel can ya confirm?

little osprey
#

i thnik the super has the new

foggy hazel
#

1650 is using the previous gen nvenc

#

as in, the version used in volta

#

which is the same as the one in Pascal

little osprey
#

and the 1660 ti

foggy hazel
#

1060/1070/1080

#

1660 TI should be using Turing Nvenc

stoic island
#

Good encoder then, but 1660ti is still step back in perf from 2060 lel

foggy hazel
#

aye

little osprey
#

is the sx8200 pro a good drive

foggy hazel
#

yes

little osprey
#

because i am looking for a good drive but i saw the 970 evo plus too

stoic island
#

Sx8200 pro is usually much better value

little osprey
#

okay thanks i will watch some review

foggy hazel
#

while you are at it

#

check out the mp34 and the sn750 too @little osprey

stoic island
#

Mhm

little osprey
#

i heard that the sn750 isn't as good as everybody say

stoic island
#

Mp34 slightly less desirable due to a bit lower r/w than the rest.

#

From where?

vague maple
#

because i am looking for a good drive but i saw the 970 evo plus too
@little osprey why is good drive and 970 evo plus in the same sentence?

little osprey
#

review on reddit

desert gulch
#

sn750 is good

stoic island
#

Breh

desert gulch
#

ye they dont know what they talking abt

#

that redditor

vague maple
#

lmao

stoic island
#

I can pull up Tom's hardware or TPU reviews if you want

vague maple
#

^

little osprey
#

yeah pls

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey if you are lucky, reddit can find the right time on a broken clock about once a day

stoic island
#

I know at least one of the two did a sn750 review

little osprey
#

@vague maple no i meant other good drives than the 970 evo plus

#

@foggy hazel 😂

vague maple
#

i know lik

#

lol*

desert gulch
#

lol

stoic island
little osprey
#

thanks

vague maple
#

we should make a ssd tier list tbh

#

a price to performance ssd tier list

stoic island
#

Meh

foggy hazel
#

no

vague maple
#

ok no

foggy hazel
#

just like any other list, it would be misunderstood from here to heck

vague maple
#

?

foggy hazel
#

and what happens when price changes?

vague maple
#

ah true

#

then performance only?

foggy hazel
#

or what about the multiple types of workload that behave differently on different bios tunings?

vague maple
#

ugh naed

foggy hazel
#

bios above = controller of the ssd

vague maple
#

stop being such a party pooper

viral ore
#

lmao

foggy hazel
#

make better suggestions.

stoic island
#

@vague maple hell, just read that SN750 review and see just how much there are

vague maple
#

i refuse not to

viral ore
#

if you wanna make a list, go ahead

#

no one would use it tho

stoic island
#

There's a huge amount of things in there

little osprey
#

i mean after reading this review sx8200 pro is the best value option

vague maple
#

nah naed made me lose interest

#

yeah

stoic island
#

@little osprey keep reading

desert gulch
#

tru

little osprey
#

better than sn750

stoic island
#

I know you haven't read all of it

vague maple
#

you can't go wrong without the sx8200 pro

stoic island
#

I know you haven't.

foggy hazel
#

its not that a list is useless @vague maple

vague maple
#

lmao

little osprey
#

ok i will continue

foggy hazel
#

its that the complexity is very high on anything that is actually useful

vague maple
#

mhm

stoic island
#

Yea

#

But yea, I'd only say SN750 is within margin of error with sx8200 pro, both are good.

little osprey
#

yeah same

stoic island
#

Keep reading

#

Have you even gotten to page 3 yet

little osprey
#

I'm finished

#

Page 3 was the page with the benchmarks and a little text under it so i was fast reading it

stoic island
#

good nuff

#

but anyways

#

you did read the part at the end where it talked about sx8200 pro vs sn750 correct?

little osprey
#

yeah

stoic island
#

good

little osprey
#

they said that the two of them are at any means good

stoic island
#

Mhm, and sx8200 pro will actually fall behind after it exhausts slc cache

little osprey
#

yeah this too

stoic island
#

more rare situation, but good thing to keep in mind

little osprey
#

you're right

foggy hazel
#

now

#

here is the "fun" detail

#

none of what you read actually will be noticed by you

little osprey
#

😂

#

by the normal user

foggy hazel
#

aye

#

as i said, you.

stoic island
#

yea

#

:)

#

the rest are just nice-to-haves

#

maybe shave a second or two off large transfers

#

that's about it

desert gulch
#

is evo the fastest m.2?

stoic island
#

no

little osprey
#

these rtx 3070 review are killing me on youtube. they are everywhere

stoic island
#

nowhere near

#

@desert gulch Sabrent rocket 4 plus is the fastest consumer drive right now

desert gulch
#

what speeds?

flint steeple
#

upgrading from i7 7700k to 10th gen, im thinking i7 10700

stoic island
#

7000/5000 iirc

flint steeple
#

thought

desert gulch
#

wow

#

brad 10700 or 10700k?

flint steeple
#

10700

desert gulch
#

o

flint steeple
#

i will never overclock

stoic island
#

7000/6850 actually on sn850

desert gulch
#

wow

#

thats high\

stoic island
#

7000/5000 is 980 pro

desert gulch
#

mr1 have you heard of project honey badger?

flint steeple
#

do you think it is a good cpu

desert gulch
#

ltt did a vid on it

#

10700 is very good

#

but id wait for zen 3

#

unless you already have mobo

flint steeple
#

eta on that?

desert gulch
#

retail on nov 5

stoic island
#

I know

#

but I said consumer drive

desert gulch
#

ye

#

ik

flint steeple
#

are there leaks on what products there will be

desert gulch
#

Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 7 5800X, and Ryzen 5 5600X

#

at launch

#

but others will come in 2021

stoic island
#

it's not leaks, they're announced already

desert gulch
#

but 5950x beats out 10900k in single and multicore

#

yeah

stoic island
#

they're releasing to consumers nov 5th iirc?

desert gulch
#

yup

#

but only x-varients

#

non x comes later

stoic island
#

as far as we know

desert gulch
#

yeah

foggy hazel
#

yes, availability is nov 5th

#

for zen3

desert gulch
#

yup

flint steeple
#

what about 11th gen intel

stoic island
#

no idea

desert gulch
#

idk

foggy hazel
#

between now and whenever

desert gulch
#

they haventt said

foggy hazel
#

and they had all the clarity of mud in their financial call the other day

#

so ... yeah

#

heck knows

desert gulch
#

maybe they know AMD is gonna win now 😄

ocean bolt
#

Does anyoen know between these 2 builds if there are 4 slots for RAM and 2 ports which would fit 2 RTX 2080 supers?

#

And

foggy hazel
#

@ocean bolt you planning on gaming?

ocean bolt
#

Yes

foggy hazel
#

dont go SLI

#

nvidia stops support for it in january 2021

ocean bolt
#

Vs?

#

Versus?

foggy hazel
#

a single 3070/3080 is faster than what you are trying to do

desert gulch
#

only a couple games support sli atm too

#

rdr2 does

ocean bolt
#

Only have 1500 to spend and need a complete new PC

desert gulch
#

but you wont be getting twice the perf of 1 card

#

youll be getting like 170 percent perf

#

of normal card

#

so its not fully 2x

ocean bolt
#

Understood about the 3k series but can’t afford that right now

desert gulch
#

you can afford a 3080

ocean bolt
#

With a pc

foggy hazel
#

how much would you be paying for those 2080's?

desert gulch
#

ik

ocean bolt
#

?

#

I need a “full build”

#

Already sold my pc

#

But kept one of my GPUs

desert gulch
#

but how much would a 2080 super cost you?

#

the second one?

ocean bolt
#

Yes

desert gulch
#

what price?

desert gulch
#

i thought you said budget was 1500

ocean bolt
#

Trying to o decide between those 2

desert gulch
#

second one is open box btw

ocean bolt
#

Thanks for the heads up, saw that.

desert gulch
#

yup its sometimes easy to pass

#

and not see

ocean bolt
#

Any other sites you would suggest prebuilt pcs. These look like the 2 contenders for me now,

#

For that budget range

desert gulch
#

uhh are you a costco member?

#

sometimes they have some decent deals on prebuilys

#

backed by good warranty

#

but you have to have costco membership to buy

ocean bolt
#

I do have a membership, haven’t checked online. Only seen laptops in store

#

Thank you for the heads up

desert gulch
#

yup

#

sometimes they dont have any prebuilts in stock tho

#

do you have a costco credit card?

#

because if you do you get 2 year warranty on pc plus another 2 years bc of card

#

and prolly decent cashback since itd be from them

#

but it has shown that 3070 is slightly faster than 2080ti at least with rtx on

#

but 3070 will have 3 less gb of vram

#

if vram is important to you

ocean bolt
#

Not really worries about the GPU atm. More curious about the rest of the PC and making sure that of these 2 builds i posted that i can upgrade/fit a 3090 if/when i get one next year

#

But need a full PC atm

desert gulch
#

just gotta remember a 3090 in a system will make pretty much any cpu the bottleneck

#

i mean like a decent cpu wont be enough for 3090

#

so maybe worth waiting for zen 3

wild briar
#

Hey guys is this case good for ryzen 5 3600 build

desert gulch
#

well a r5 3600 build doesnt tell us much lol

torpid belfry
#

what motherboard are you looking at

stoic island
#

X570 unify is best mobo don't @ me

desert gulch
#

ok @stoic island

torpid belfry
#

@stoic island he said it

stoic island
#

Lol

desert gulch
#

Mr1 team ram is best ram dont @ me

stoic island
#

I agree

#

I love dark pros

torpid belfry
#

lol

desert gulch
#

xD

stoic island
desert gulch
#

but i have seen that case for sale all the time @wild briar

#

id go td500 mesh tbh

#

better quality imo

torpid belfry
#

true

sturdy leaf
#

Whatdoes this mean

#

I just built my pc and this light is glowing

#

Is it normal?

foggy hazel
#

@sturdy leaf read your mainboard manual

sturdy leaf
#

Alright

stoic island
#

Boot usually means it's booting

desert gulch
#

if its stuck there

#

do you have windows on your drive?

stoic island
#

@sturdy leaf Looks like MSI debug LEDs, from what I remember, if it's just on, and everything else works, it's normal.

#

It's normal for debug leds to go cpu, ram, than vga, then finally settle on boot

sturdy leaf
#

No it’s a brand new pc @desert gulch

foggy hazel
#

you just rewarded him for not reading the manual @stoic island

#

:)

stoic island
#

@foggy hazel I mean this was stuff I couldn't get in the manual lol

#

sadly

#

I thought it had to do with the bios flashback

#

so I had to google for the stuff

sturdy leaf
#

So it’s good?

#

Cause my leds are working fine

stoic island
#

but that was a long time ago

foggy hazel
#

yes, which is why he needed to come to that conclusion himself

#

as in: i have read things: but i cannot find it.

stoic island
#

okai

#

btw @foggy hazel I checked to make sure, the manual is not clear at all, from snippet in manual:

#

it's confusing asf because it cycles through them on boot

#

and stays on boot for a while until you boot

foggy hazel
#

which again, IF he had come back with that, we had confirmation that he had actually read the manual :)

#

which is the point to what i am saying :)

stoic island
#

Yea I just remember manual was unhelpful personally

#

so I decided to give it to em without the trouble

foggy hazel
#

aye aye :)

sturdy leaf
#

Thank u

winged tinsel
#

I'm currently in the proccess of figuring out what parts to use to build my first ever pc

#

I have a small budget though

stoic island
#

And that is..?

fringe hearth
#

Need to know if I should upgrade, or if what I got is still okay. Currently I am running the ASUS B150 Programing Arura, Samsung solid state as primary, Western Digital as secondary, Corsair Vengeance Ram 32G, Gigabyte 1060, and a Corsair CX600 power supply. My CPU is Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.50GHz. I have been out of the computer world for a while. Also need a good air flow case. Budget max $1,500.00 USD

winged tinsel
#

My budget is 700 dollars

#

Do you think thats enough for a good pc?

stoic island
#

Eh works.

#

@fringe hearth what colored label on the CX?

fringe hearth
#

The CX is green if im understanding what you are asking for

stoic island
#

if it's the old 2012 green label, I wouldn't keep it, but if it's the Gray label (I doubt it, since 600w), it's good

#

Yea alright

#

@fringe hearth what's the frequency and timings on the ram?

fringe hearth
#

DRAM Frequency 1063.6MHz Cycle Time (tRAS) 36 clocks Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) 374 clocks

#

NB Frequency 3887.6 MHz

stoic island
#

ick

#

is XMP on?

fringe hearth
#

not familiar

stoic island
#

Or do you know what the kit is rated for?

#

because 2133MT/s is JEDEC standard, and default

fringe hearth
#

build is probably 5-6 years old

stoic island
#

(I know, but 5-6 years old should still have at least 2666mt/s ram)

#

check if it says on the sticks

#

@winged tinsel when are you going to be building?

winged tinsel
#

As soon as I can figure out what the best parts are for my budget and then order the parts

fringe hearth
stoic island
#

Need wifi? @winged tinsel

winged tinsel
#

wifi?

stoic island
#

Are you going to use ethernet or use wifi?

#

oh fun that's actually a 2133mhz kit

#

damn

winged tinsel
#

ohhhh yeah going to use wifi

stoic island
#

is ethernet not an option?

foggy hazel
#

re: ram: remember age of things. high speed kits werent exactly normal at the time (at a remotely reasonable price)

stoic island
#

@foggy hazel yea, I was expecting at least 2666mhz as I assumed more "high end" sticks at 32gb

winged tinsel
#

so for ethernet do I have to have a router next to my pc?

fringe hearth
#

which is better?

stoic island
#

@winged tinsel you need a ethernet cord

winged tinsel
#

I could do ethernet

stoic island
#

Ethernet is superior to wifi, but wifi is the only option in some cases

languid cedar
#

so uh LTT released a vid on the 2060 pretty much saying it was a peice of trash should i be concerned? @stoic island (sorry for da ping)

fringe hearth
#

@stoic island So do you think anything needs upgraded at this time?

stoic island
#

the what

languid cedar
#

mr1111 is gone for 1 minute lol

stoic island
#

@languid cedar where

languid cedar
stoic island
#

@fringe hearth I think basically everything should be swapped

#

hmmm

#

look at the date

#

you think that's relevant?

languid cedar
#

i have no sense of relavance

stoic island
#

the primary issue is this part, this review was before the price drop to 300$

languid cedar
#

ohhhhhhhhhh

fringe hearth
#

@stoic island Got any good recommendations haha?

languid cedar
#

they prob did that bc of that vid

stoic island
#

I'll slap together a 1500$ list real quick, @fringe hearth what SSD you got right now?

foggy hazel
#

@languid cedar no

#

it was because of the launch of the 5600xt

stoic island
#

And when are you planning to build, what workloads, and any other specific requirements? @fringe hearth

#

@foggy hazel I thought it was the launch together with super on top of response to 5600xt

languid cedar
#

o

#

Confuzzion

stoic island
#

aka. Disguised as just dropping price as a part of super launch, but really to counter 5600xt.

fringe hearth
#

@stoic island Solid state is a Samsung 250g. Primarily gaming, but would like the best workload possible. Would love to go back to two or three monitors again.

stoic island
#

When are you planning on the new build?

stoic island
#

I see

foggy hazel
#

the price of the 5600XT was known way in advance

fringe hearth
#

The new build within the next two months

craggy kelp
#

Hey does anybody know a bit about PCs who can help me a bit

mighty bobcat
#

depends on the issue

craggy kelp
#

I want to get a pc

#

But don’t know anything about parts

stoic island
#

Alright I'll get started on making that list

what did you want to do with it, what kind of a budget did you have and what do you already have that you don't feel like you need to replace

craggy kelp
#

I have nothing except for a desk and i have 2500 for everything

mighty bobcat
#

when did you want to have it

craggy kelp
#

Anywhere between now and January

deep skiff
#

wasnt the 2060 ko before the 2060 price cut

foggy hazel
#

deep skiff
#

ic

foggy hazel

deep skiff

Can someone let me know if this is a good pc

mighty bobcat
#

Its an interesting timing as the new AMD CPUs are getting released 11/5 and the announcement event for the new GPUs is tomorrow

foggy hazel
#

ah, yes, because that is a direct decision from Evga @deep skiff

craggy kelp
#

Uhm what is that?😅

mighty bobcat
#

New Processors and new videos card

craggy kelp
#

Oh okay

zealous edge
#

Alright lemme list the parts

#

But first off all

#

Is the i7-9700k good

#

Or can I get a better cpu for the price

#

like amd

#

I kinda like intel tho

deep skiff
#

yeah the ko was unrelated to what u and mr1 were talking about i just thought it was the $300 2060 before the price cut

mighty bobcat
#

@zealous edge its OK, but the lack of multithreading hurt the 9600 and 9700 for productivity - my 9600k was bought knowing this but I needed HAXM commands

foggy hazel
#

aye, i remembered wrong, thanks for me reminding me about that. Its been noted :) @deep skiff

deep skiff
#

:)

zealous edge
#

#

rn I'm struggling on picking a mother board for a i9-10900k since it goes well with an RTX 3080, but now I'm thinking that I could probably go for a i5-10600k and be okay for gaming and streaming

zealous edge
#

`Cpu: 9700k

crude rose
#

oh cool, I'm a regular now

zealous edge
#

Why dont u get the asus prime?

#

z490

stoic island
#

@craggy kelp uhh what's that for?

#

mighty bobcat

@craggy kelp for the same cost I would look at an R5 3600

craggy kelp
#

Europe

stoic island
#

mighty bobcat
#

craggy kelp
#

crude rose

Yes

zealous edge

Amd more for gaming/streaming

Never cheap out on power supply unless you know what you're doing
