it took my dad 3+ months of calling comcast to just cut the wire
only way to verify is using data
It's an ISP screwing stuff over thing
that's what im thinking, i think my isp snuck something past us to save money
that's what they do all the time
whos your isp?
resetting the wifi didn't work, now im trying the mobile data
stormfiber, i live in pakistan so you probably haven
havent heard of it
but they've never done something like this before
it's weird and annoying
anyways lemme try it with mobile data
it working now?
@stoic island i have it connected, it asked me on my phone to allow the pc to use mobile data and i said yes, and i can find it in my other devices
do i just check steam and see if its working now
yes
yes
ill disconnect it just to make sure
ok
Im typing on another phone
I disconnected the ethernet cable and now i have no wifi
Am i supposed to enable something
is mobile data on
are you doing usb tethering
I have it connected to my pc if thats what you mean
Via a usb cable
Its showing up in my connected devices so i know the port is working
did you see what mr1 said?
there's a setting
I just turned it on
on the phone
you need to enable usb tethering
I reread your message
Messages
Ok now wifi is connected
Let me test this
Yep
Its the isp
Its working on mobile data
Tysm mr111, how do i tell them to turn off/on whatever needs to be turned on/off
so we know it has to be a wifi issue
Yeah
has the router reset correctly yet?
I have reset it to no avail if thats what you mean
it could just be a hard block because of data cap
it IS the end of the month after all
naed is saying you wifi may have a limit
the ISP could have looked at your usage, and flagged the steam tcp/ip ports as being the offenders, which they then blocked
on usage
which then leads to different variations of what you described
that is a question for the ISP
Both of them have cloudflare on dont they?
Ok
So can you tell me what to tell them?
the ISP will be easier to deal with IF you have the following
naed is not your isp so he can not answer your question about it blocking steam lol
Lol now i know
@desert gulch not what he is asking.
If only naed was my isp smh
you would not have any internet at all then
the ISP will be easier to deal with IF you have the following
following what?
@vague maple you will probably have to have your parents contact them since your parents are the ones with the account
Right but ill have to tell my parents what to tell them
So ill ask them if they have anything blocked
And if they have cloudflare blocked specifically
Is that fine?
You need to collect the following:
Browser version, screenshots of the sites that dont work (in the browser)
Preferably test this in more than 1 browser
And remember, screenshots. Dont label is silly things. Just label is nice and logically for each and every single screenshot
Ok
and a written out note of what exactly you have done so far to test the problem
the more you actually appear to have a working logical brain.
have you tried steam on more than 1 device?
have you tried steam on more than 1 device?
@desert gulch no
o
this is prep work for before you even THINK about contacting the ISP
because if you called me up (and i was your isp) and you just told me "something does not work"
yo guys
i cannot do jack all about it
when do u think 3060ti will come out
Lmao ty naed
We can't predict that
Dude gensys
ye
Ok so i gotta get screenshots, test it on multiple browsers
@vague maple so, the more prepared you are, the more LIKELY they are to actually listen to you.
Because trust me, they listen to a LOT of very very silly people every day, all day
refer to what i said above
Ok
Tysm naed
You’re a lifesaver dude
I have to go finish hw rn but ill be sure to collect all the information
oof late night homework?
you are welcome.
well good luck with hw
well good luck with hw
@desert gulch bro
i have to print out some pictures and use them in a collage
and i have 12 minutes
and my printer obviously decides to say 57 fan error
but why not do it earlier smh
i can't even be bothered to try and fix it
i did do it earlier lol
i just have to glue 3 more pictures
but my printer failed me like it does every damn occassion
i'm just gonna get the pics from a printing place tmw and say that the email wasn't sending or something lmao
maybe new printer time
@desert gulch yeah man
this current printer is a prick
it's so frustrating
it keeps on running out of toner every 2 days even though we barely use it
does pcpp website have printers you can add too?
well i can't currently open pcpp lmao
we're not gonna get a new printer imo, the problems are annoying sure, but they occur so rarely because we almost never use it
now i just know to never depend on this printer and just send the pics to a printing place earlier
yup
is it just me or are printers everywhere a huge inconvenience lmao
even the good working printers have such a lengthy process
ehhh we have a old printer thats never let us down
@vague maple I mean we got a 50$ printer from Walmart that hasn't failed us yet
i don't have walmart
So I think it's a case by case basis
i see
But than the ink is more expensive than printer itself 
ye sometimes tbh
we buy like rly cheap ink on amazon
its about 10x cheaper than canon official's stuff
and it lasts just as long
and works just as good
i see
any tips for reselling and where to resell products?
im writing this all down
any tips for reselling and where to resell products?
@little osprey r/hardware swap, facebook groups and amazon/newegg
@little osprey what are you reselling?
Ebay
keyboards,mice and maybe mousepads
no lol
ok good lmao
r/hws need comment karma to post
depends on mouse
Yo what is Newegg
bruh
Is it like a food
Constantly hear "egg" no know what mean
egg I know but not NEW egg
Reddragon most cheaper budget stuff
yeah ik
its in perfect condition
i would say keep it, just in case your mouse fails or you need to troubleshoot something
i have 2 other mouses
peripherals like mice and keyboard harder to sell if used
if it's in perfect condition then i would say 10 dollars less then it sells for new
k
but then theres shippinh
dont quote me on that though

cable management needs work
Yeah I know
Tedious task never seem to get to it
dude i shouldnt have bought the rk61 😩
When was the last time you dusted it? That's way to clogged, mate
Looks like you spilled some fruit punch on it. .

Did somebody get the Rtx 3070
I Heard they were out of Stock very fast
ooh caught me at a good time just sat back down to check disc 128gb @uncut pelican
Very quick yes
Nice thats 8 times the amount mine will have
Also I've never built a pc
hey does anyone know a good airflow mATX case that has a budget of $100
I can help you
that also includes fans
either mATX mid or mini, has to fit a 2080s fe
rgb is not a necessity
yes
Got it
Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L Micro-ATX Tower with Magnetic Design Dust Filter, Transparent Acrylic Side Panel, Adjustable I/O & Fully Ventilated Airflow, Black (MCB-Q300L-KANN-S00) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0785GRMPG/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_i_s9XMFbNEX92B8
How bout this
how about a Fractal Design Define Mini C TG
@little osprey oh lemme take a look
Oh which one do you like better?
It totally depends on price and which u like better
Good question lemme take a look
Thats not a vad build, middle range build
I think that the case has at least two fans that come with it but tbh im not 100 percent sure
How is the h100i $95
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qnwDxc Can I get any suggestions on this build?
need better ssd
go for sn750 or mp34
and get better latency ram
intel doesnt care as much about ram speed as much as ryzen
so id get 3200mhz c14 imo
ah ok thanks
yup
hey
hi
i have a B450M DS3H which is good CPU for that motherboard
uh
budget for cpu?
id go ryzen 5 3600 imo
its great price to perf
its about 200 dollars
what about the ryzen 3 3200g
do you have a graphics card?
we have not ordered it yet
which gpu r u getting
yes 3200g has graphics integrated
200 atm but drops relatively commonly
depends on budget tho
@magic veldt what gpu r u getting
well we have to completly reset our order cuz we do not have the compatible things for it
oh
How big of a bottleneck is my i5-3570K / 32GB Ram / GTX 1080 for Watchdogs Legion and possibly Cyberpunk 2077?
My PC has run every game up to this point on very high settings with no issues
why such an old cpu
PC still runs incredibly strong...
ok
And no game I play yet really seems to bother it
it's still a solid pc yeah
are you only playing those games?
Just trying to make decide on the make or break it
i think thats a solid gpu+cpu combo
Seems silly though doesn't it?
I can't believe it's still running this strong on top of DDR3
i think it will work fine
Looks like Intel is dropping new CPU's again soon so maybe I will see what the i9's drop to
the newer amd cpus are gonna be wayyy better and maybe more affordable
i cant promise the affordable part
Can't do AMD...
why
oh
I'm that Intel fanboy you hear about
lmao
Just can't let it go
i mean intel is still really powerful in its ways
AMD CPU failed me many times and don't get me started on their graphics drivers, lol
intel still great for gaming
there graphic drivers are so bad
they've gotten better
Intel has always been strong for me and Nvidia as well
Plus my monitor is G-Sync
So AMD is a no go on card
ive heard their new gpus are close to being better than nvidia
but id still rather nvidia
Still don't use them ,lol
thats true
if amd graphic drivers get better then they might be the best gpus
Last "new" game I played was RDR2 and it played on max settings smoothly.
yeah you should run cyberpunk fine
So if I can get like an i9K series
honestly i5 seems completely fine
i mean even my old fx processor will be able to run it
That would be ideal and probably last for a while
I always like to check in and get real feedback
intel processors are just not as affordable
i do cus i try not to spend as much
Same here
But I also want something close to the top of the line
When I got the 3570k it was the best gaming CPU out at the time
And still holding on
edp just followed me back on twitter 😩
I appreciate the feedback guys
np
Makes me feel better about staying put for now
i mean the older nvidia gpus are still actually solid
Yeah I wasn't worried about the GTX1080 as much as the CPU/RAM combo
And I guess it will be nice to eventually be able to use M2 SSD's
I'm stuck with the old styles
ram bottleneck is usually more rare then cpu+gpu combo bottleneck
uh @drowsy blaze amd gpu drivers have literally no issues rn wdym?
Years ago sir...
Just rubbed me the wrong way on both CPU & GPU
but its fine now....
o
GTX1080 Strix has been solid
i noticed the 3070 strix is like 630 who would even buy that
when the 3080 is right there
dumb
Ong
omg
My life is legot ruined
I was gonna buy the 3070
Stupid scalpers I tell u
Its like 650 cad lmao
Thats nothing
And on ebay they go for 1100 cad
you gotta be quicker next time my friend
I tried hard
I had 4 computers lmao
With 3 ppl
I was even paying em 20 bucks each if we could actually BUY THE CARD
But Nvidia is just stupid
Frrfr
Anything new in build chat
@slim escarp
Hi
Hello
Are you building this soon
Depends really
Do you need wifi or Ethernet
No I’m good on internet stuff and peripherals
As in that’s not included in my budget
Oh ok do you want all perf or
I still make it look good but the price won’t go up for better looking parts
Like rgb ram or anything
Unless you want it to
Nah that’s fine
I’m looking into getting something that won’t be outdated in 6 months but I don’t wanna spend too much
Again I don’t know too much about this kind of thing
what are you using this computer for?
98% sure gaming
Video games and school
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9xdJbh if the 1660ti goes off of sale before you buy get the 1660 super
Ok thanks man
And you don’t have to get cable extension I just prefer them
that list is pog, but would suggest these subtle changes: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b6Zq3Z
if you dont mind
And you can get a cheaper case for like 50 that comes with 3 fans and non rgb I would recommend neo air if you do that
Yeah I don’t wanna spend a lot on a case
Wait sry wrong case
oof
Umm the mx-330g air by cougar
It’s stuck to blue lights but budget
It comes with 3 fans
oh yeah
there's a lot of very good budget cases i'm seeing which is nice
I don’t care how it looks lol
Well that one has 3 fans good airflow and decently cheap at like 50 maybe 60 dollars
That’s pretty good
ive always prefered to put mATX motherboards in mATX cases
I don’t remember the price
Yeah I’m doing that with my build but you don’t have upgradability when you do that in case you want a atx mobo after
Depending on how things are around November and December I’m gonna get it then. If not I’m gonna wait a while longer
I have to wait at least until after Christmas
But I can’t wait it’s gonna be my first build
i'm building mine around that time
I’m bought to stream it just so people cringe on how bad Im at it
I’m bought to stream it just so people cringe on how bad Im at it
And I’ll need help
So
This is my first build as well
It’s a nice build but my budget is 600 dollars so
I mean to be fair I have a lot of friends with entry level PCs that function fine
The only difference is I have a wifi mobo, a case with led fans, a 3100 and a 1650 super
Other than that it’s the same
Same ssd same psu even though I’ll probably get the 500w psu
Anyone know if Asus will be releasing new mobos for zen 3. Specifically white accent mobos. Looking at the Prime x570 pro right now but not completely sold on it.
When I was younger I was used to just turning the graphics all the way down to run games because I had a terrible computer. Then I moved on to console gaming and now I want to make the jump back. But growing up with that, I don’t need games on super high settings to be impressed.
Yeah me too console gaming brings your standards down
well if you want i white mobo rn they got the b550-a
Well not the new ones but still to many restrictions and you have to pay 60 dollars to play online consoles aren’t the best IMO
antago
I'm getting the b550-a
I don't want you to get one too
otherwise they are that much closer to selling outtttttttt
i'll buy them all so you don't get any
u think I care about the price now?
it's a mobo
and it's white
and it's ROG
idc the price
i'm buying
rog bad
ur bad
smh
u pros like asrock
...
My favorite console ended up being the switch just because of portability and ease of use so I’m also used to terrible downgraded ports.
listen asrock is budget friendly for me antago don't bully
i needed a mobo on a budget shush
every time someone buys asrock, another one bites the dust
b550 phantom is fine for me
maximus 8
for now
best budget mobo
maximus 8
just dont buy a cpu or power supply
and it should be fine
https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-ga-78lmt-usb3/p/N82E16813128565 here you can have my old board
poop brown colors
Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L
does that come with 2 front fans
other than the back
what motherboard should i get if im getting a rtx 2070 and ryzen7 3700x
5700 xt
5700xt is basically a 2070
im getting a rtx 2070 just because i like nvdia lol
but its up to you on what you want
im not going for the brand its just I live nvdia control panel better lol
LOL
and there DLSS
eh depends
there are barely any games that support it
you know anything abpout motherboards?
Ye
because i wanna get a ryzen 7 3700x and rtx 2070 whats a good mobo for that?
ew not b450
asrock b550 phantom gaming 4 is a decent budget board
do you need wifi cozy?
Hi
yes probably i use wifi rn
or
Never go for a motherboard just cuz it has wifi
Never go for a motherboard just cuz it has wifi
ok
Never go for a motherboard JUST cuz it has wifi
the board i was going to suggest is good nevertheless
If its a good board then ye
what mobo?
but cozy dont just say u need wifi and get a wifi board with like 1 fan header lol
and trash heat sinks
yea ik
5700xt better perf
2060 super for ?
if you want to stream i'd get 2060s
I dont really wanna stream tbh
Can you guys tell me if this is a good build?
the rx cards get hot tho
Nividia 2060 super. Asus prime x570 pro. Ryzen 5. 32gb corsair vengeance rgb pro. h100i rgb platinum white. Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB. Corsair RMX White Series, RM750x, 750 Watt, 80+ Gold
can you put that in a pcpp list ?
Yah I’ll get the link
will the heat effect perf a lot tho dwella?
I mean the card I wanna get has 3 fans
its rhe auros version
better heat pipes
and heat sink soo..
Should be fine?
i'm not too familiar with the temps of those cards
a few friends said their cards got a little hot at times but were fine
look up a review of the specific model
I was sceptical about amd
Here
But dont amd cards have frequent issues?
extreme overkill
with drivers and stuff
they used to have driver issues but everyone says they're good now
i'm just grabbing a $50 air cooler for my 3600
nice nice
nothing more needed
ye
Alright well
ima go with the 5700 xt then
If i cant get a 6000 series card
if I get a 6000 series gg
either way you'll be happy with performance
but very unlikely
5700xt is a solid card
ye
what what about the dlss on the 2060 super
makes a big diff or nah?
I think il be good with the 5700xt honestly
I’m making a new list wait mb
Cya for now
Yah I got a monitor recently so that was a extra 200 out the list and I couldn’t find the cpu fan there so I left the aio in I want a white cool master
So it’s a 100 off
Well 300 cuz the aio and the monitor
So how is the build
?
Well it isnt getting the prices for the 3080 or the p600s did you take that into account?
@little osprey Ur gonna have to add like 700 dollars to that
and like another hundred for that case
so it would be around 1900
The case is 150 looking at price history
I@ slow mb
1950 - 300 = 1650
I settle for a 2060 super
Thansk I’m kinda new to this
Thats the card im also getting
Whats the max budget you're willing to spend on a card alone?
So how the build?
and total budget?
On a card max is like 450 and my budget is 1000
well the build you linked is like 1500
I linked a new one
Ye
still
1500
Case is 110-130
I did
if your budget is 1000, i'd suggest a 3070 if you want to wait for it to be stocked
and just as well as the 2070
@vital warren Wont work with the other parts he has
that would be over budget
He needs to take some stuff out
Why do u need an aio @little osprey
Just get a $45 coller master hyper evo
Or use the stock cooler with that amd cpu
I said I didn’t want the aio but I left in In because I couldn’t find the cool master
No need unless your getting a cpu with lots of cores and thread or a i7 k series proceccer
or i5 10th gen
Its there
search it up
hyper evo
White one no
there is none in white
I was jus thinking of the regular one with rgb though
if you wanna make it white ur gonna have to spray paint it
I’m slow sorry
Dw
I spray paint it
Alright
so its like only 35 bucks
way cheaper then the other one
add that in and add a custom price to the gpu as 450
Ok
So I got real with myself I’m not gonna have a 3090 and it’s my first pc so
I’m changing it up
What’s a good 1 tb ssd
samsung evo
kingston ssd's are also good
@little osprey
What are you even gonna use the pc for?
just gaming?
Gaming and editing
I have the build
@zealous edge
If you have the money for a 3090 get a 6900xt instead
I don’t
My limit is 100
1000*
that build is very bad
How come
almost everything besidses the cpu
How I’m new to this ?
What was wrong in mine over pricing?
Ok
Just bought both of these today
now all that is remaining in the cpu, gpu, storage, and psu
@stoic island does this convince u to lube ur switches 
i am planning on getting a a ryzen 5900x and either the 6800xt or 3080
which one would be a better choice
to get
WWWWWWEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL
I am new to this building pc so i dk tbh
i am getting a 5700xt becasue I dont want to wait for the 6800xt or the 3080
and money wise
ok
can someone help me
i just plugged in dual monitors
and my seconday monitor just looks
bland
@deep skiff uh?
compared to my first monitor
are they quieter?
no they sound good
thermal paste?
which on is good for a ryzen 5 3600
the video kinda makes them wacky but they sound hella good irl
2080 super or 1080ti
kf no graphics, ka the avengers one lmao
uh
help
any suggestions for a mATX case
no fans needed just really good airflow
?
DLM 21 mesh
@next kestrel would 3 noctua 120 mm fans do?
i mean 4
3 in the front and one in the back
?
Yes
oh alright
Noctua is a very reputable and reliable brand for fans
As well as coolers
that is the model you should grab
hm
slightly expensive:P
SHOULD be ~25$ per fan
Or less
mhm
would i need like 5?
Unless it's rgb
don't buy for 40$ a fan from amazon
theres two exhausts
it should be 25$
Ye
so like 3 in the front, two up top, one in the back
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hudz./saved/#view=YYCPXL so this is most likely going to be my first PC ever and feedback?
With rgb fans they do cost a bit more but I don't think k your looking for that
R u going to have a radiator?
no
Ok
@whole forum I'd get 3600c16 ram to start off
a nh d15
ballistix is cheaper than the trident z
kk
and I'd change that SSD
A400 is trash
Might as well get a decent 500gb M.2 SSD like Crucial P1 for 55$
Ye really good nvme for the cost
and I'd grab the Cougar MX330-g air case for 55$, comes with 3 fans, and saves you money. @whole forum
with that saved money, I'd grab a 250$ 1660 super.
that's my 2 cents
You can also get the corsair air flow case
meh
kk
only 2 fans included
which one
Lemme get link
the MX330-g air I talked about was 55$
would like to buy the Ryzen 3 3300x but looks like no one has them in stock ?
and splurging on everything else
i have a spare 1tb ssd
@late helm 3300x is just... gone...
sure are
@little osprey what do you already have
for 5 noctua fans should i be concerned about the fan headers
I mean as in they're just not coming (3300x)
@stoic island im planning
the a520 bothers me a lot
WEL
hell, gammaxx 400 + 5600x and a B550m pro4
well
and CXm sux
suggestions??
they arn't coming ? because of the virus ? or what ?
Phanteks Amp 750w
mobo and psu?
Ur running a 2080
@late helm they never had enough stock, I haven't seen it go back into stock, I think it was basically limited edition kind of thing
wel im wrong then so suggestions??
32 gigs of ram
i want to run certain things
Like?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p6mq4d any comments or concerns ?
Lol
and i can take it out if id like
well that leaves me with ether the 3gen 3100 or the 5 2nd gen 2600 in my budget
I like this better
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vdXFGq
Why that cpu cooler
y know what if im not gonna find any suggestions ill ask elsewhere then no offense but im just being questioned here
Go with hyper evo
Its 10 bucks more
Damn
This chat is more alive then general huh
i was thinking the be quiet dark rock base pro or whatever its called
asking for someone if I may:
Which most optimized build you'd recommend for someone who'd mostly use it for gaming,
and also some mapping software for work like ArcGIS/Google Earth
Budget ~1K USD
First of al
@copper mason primary question, when building.
despite what anyone says
rgb matters
@little osprey again, M O N I E S
wdym ??
25$ vs 90$ cooler
both work just fine for stock
likely makes no perf difference at stock
$25 cooler?
look at the list
which one are you speaking of
@copper mason you wanting to go intel or amd?
:P
oh i didnt know you were referring to me my bad
@stoic island thank you sm
i wouldnt think that it would fit the budget but thanks
mm
I7 9700k ftw lol
Is there point in getting 6800 if you don’t have An amd cpu
Cuz it’s 10% better
? it is? i havent actually looked at the performance for it yet
5600x will sell out so quick doubt anyone will be able to get one
in comparison
@little osprey look on passmark
With the bots
but theyre chips
I was gonna get 5700 xt lol
I dunno
But ima wait for the 6k series now
compared to gpus theyre bound to sell out less quick
gpus are more chonky and need production
we can't predict em
Tru
Honestly no one knows
or bots run out of money before they run out of stock
I’m hoping for 5600x and a 3080
who the hell knows
I think ppl are despite for the cards now
You can buy a scalping tool from eBay for 7 bucks
Not saying you shoulf
But I'm saying it's getting worse now
for doing what
Replace the 3700x with a 5600x
@copper mason primary question, when building.
@stoic island sorry if I missed something,
did you mean to ask when they want to build it ?
He was asking if now is a good time to build his first gaming PC
Just for gaming at 1080/1440p
Mhm
@stoic island Bots never run outta money
And some other work related stuff
@copper mason you wanting to go intel or amd?
@zealous edge I'm not sure he'd care tho 🤔 But i'll ask
As in can you wait a month for stuff to release and go in stock?
@copper mason alright, and who r u building for again?
As in can you wait a month for stuff to release and go in stock?
@stoic island not too urgent, he prob asked because he just got a new job hah
6800XT or 3080 which one
They sell cards before they get them lol
They make their money back with profit instantly
Then buy more cards
@copper mason alright, and who r u building for again?
@zealous edge I'm just asking for an acquaintance
Alright
