who @north fern
Dwella
depends on model
@vital warren thats a nice leap forward
The 1060 not so much
meshify c is overrated
yeah my 1060 rarely tops over 60 c
Phanteks makes amazing cases for your price range with a mesh front
how much for a editing pc for $2000 australian?
Yeah it is overrated but I kinda like the looks of it
Definitely get a 3900x @paper coral
gpu model > case model
I have a P400A, it's honestly the best performing case i've ever had... and better than anything my friends have/had
Editing the 3900x is a beast
can u do a parts list @north fern
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qZbj2V just threw this case in for reference @little osprey
@paper coral editing what?
videos
save money on fans too
2k
scroll up
2000 austrlian @vital warren
Oh
can throw another rgb fan on exhaust and you're good suke
What’s 2k au into usd?
1500
just use au pcpp
Oh then the 3900x is out of budget
no point making a list for the american market
lmao got the pretty solid deal for 500$
2k aus is about 1400 usd
I would go with a 3800x
1408 @north fern
If it’s moderate video editing the 3800x is great
Oh yeah I would wait for 5th gen ryzen
can u make a parts list
ill attempt to put something together
A 5700 or 5700xt are really good cards for the price
not 2 familiar with au market
Same
I have the gigabyte oc model
Well its currently in transit
You made the best decision ever @little osprey
Yeah my old card was an rx 470
@paper coral if you wait until next year you will get 30-40% more performance per dollar, it's like the worst time possible to build a PC lol
haha yeah for all builds 1.2k and up
Still worth it
Going from an rx 470 to an rx 5700xt will be a HUGE leap forward for me
@paper coral if you wait until next year you will get 30-40% more performance per dollar, it's like the worst time possible to build a PC lol
i built a pc a month ago, got a bang for the buck
Yeah amd drivers...
3070 has to be priced like that, because the 6800 is better and $79 more 😆
Yeah I had a rx 570 ithe rx 5700 xt is like 3x more powerful lol
so i need a parts list and then i can get it going
@queen meadow no it isnt?
I wouldn’t be concerned about rx 5700 xt drivers I’ve had mine for a week and it’s been wonderful
80$ is pretty significant in msrp
no it isn't what?
No black screens
Amd gpu drivers have slowly gotten better
which the 3070 beats in multiple games
of course it is, it straight up performs the same under heavy ray tracing use
It takes AMD like a year to fix their drivers that’s why I’ve been waiting
and that's the only thing the 3070 does better
@north fern you must have not seen them at release
Nzxt is great
3070 is a worse card in every way until you want to only use raytracing and then it's the same
no it isnt?
The 14gbps bios flash could brick your card if you didn’t know how to flash
has the 6800 released yet?
benchmarks agree with me
Nah
Then the new bios got released which made the 5600xt run laps around an rtx 2060
no it hasn't been released
so who has a parts list
amd during 5700xt release
gtg guys see ya
AMD aren't intel, they don't cherry pick benchmarks
At 380 bucks
yes they do
The rx 5700 xt can stand toe to toe to a 2080
they are a company designed to make money
nothing like intel does
Can't wait for mine to get here
@paper coral you could get a nzxt streaming pc for 1.5k usd
but you don't know they are wrong
I got a rx 5700 xt for the sole purpose of running my 1440p monitor for cyberpunk
straight up supporting a company because of a line of product yikes
@little osprey can u send
and trusting it
and you dont know they are right?
so you cant make conclusions about "this card is completely useless"
and I can't buy a 3070 either?
yes you can?
I got an rx 5700xt because my rx 470 was starting to show its age
dm to me
@little osprey if you check out Pc-builds chat you can see my build
what? they are sold out
its available to the market
not in my country
cool, do you have confirmation that you can buy amd cards in your country?
When will we able to get 3070 ??
what matters is that we have unbiased 3rd party benchmarks for a 3070
we're not makers, we dont know
what does that matter lol
@north fern how much did you pay for your rx 5700xt
so they are better than the ones that have no benchmarks
it means that thats accurate unbiased performanced
@little osprey $419 usd
it means you can't say they're worthless because a card 80$ more expensive outperforms them
yes
you can say it quite easily and it's most likely true
you have no argument?
you have no arguement
say what quite easily
Since I only use my pc for gaming I should’ve just gotten an i7 lol I dont edit
you can say the 6800 is better than the 3070
im saying 3070 isnt blown out of the water because of an unreleased, untested card
lol, you would have to be a delusional fanboy to say otherwise
The 9400f is a great gaming chip
keep trusting that company of yours
I asked in the graphics card channel but I'll ask here as well
is the 1070 ti used a viable option by today's standards?
yes
I'm planning to pick one up for my first build for about 150 usd
Depends on the price
Damn
i picked one up for 200 recently
Wait does it have a blower style cooler?
The 1070 ti is as powerful as a rx 5600 xt
yeah its a good deal nonetheless
True
At 230 the 5600xt is such a good card
hoo boy amd fanboys
I would buy the 1070 ti for the price
I can't really find any 5600xts used
gtg yall
But definitely upgrade next generation
For 150 thats an amazing deal
Like I like AMD for the price, but I’m neutral I still like nvidia and intel
saying the 3070 is such a great deal because claims about the card releasing next week probably aren't true is just ridiculous logic. and saying such doesn't make anybody an amd fanboy
jesus
@glacial umbra what cpu do you have
haven't purchased one yet
I wouldn't buy either until benchmarks
The 9700k can be found for a good price
3070 has to be priced like that, because the 6800 is better and $79 more 😆
@queen meadow
I don’t think they produce the 330px Anymore
they don't?
I think it’s only the 3100 no?
and it probably will be
it's available at canada computers for me
i wouldn't buy either though until you can compare benchmarks
ok cool but the 3070 will still be good value
Oh yeah then get 3300x
Or @glacial umbra you can get an i5 9400f for 120 usd i believe
and you can see for sure the 3070 isn't good value lol
do people still buy 5600xt if the 5700xt is slightly faster?
If your are strictly just gaming then intel a better option
like the 2070 wasn't good value
80$ difference
I have no idea if I'm just gaming yet that's my problem
The 5700xt is much more expensive
lol
it was hot garbage which is why they had to quickly release the super version for the same price
now you change your stance haha
There was someone selling a founders edition 2070 for $375
the 5700XT was so much cheaper than the 2070S, here in AU, HUNDREDS $
Gotta love capitalism
and the 2070 super had much better performance
until recently when amd finally updated drivers
You can pick up an rx 5600xt for 230 and an rx 5700xt for 400 so thats a huge price difference
Well the 2070 super has better performance for games optimized for nvidia drivers
5700XT has caught up to the 2070S in some games now
I find it weird that people develop biased towards companies
I don't quite understand why that's a thing
nvidia have certainly never beaten AMD for frames/$ in the last few years
maybe ever in history? I'm not sure
1650 super?
Well my first build was a i7-6700k and 1050 ti so I’m still neutral in terms of what brands I work with
570 was the best $/frames
by a long way
at that low end of also lower power consumption
ahhh
nvidia beat amd on power consumption
i5-9400f vs 3300x seems like a tough choice
more cores and threads but less gaming performance it looks like
really?
4c 8t vs 6c 6t
it is in canada
yep
I have a 3300X, single core is faster than 3600X
unless you can get to a 5600X there's really no point in getting anything other than a 3300X for gaming
The 9400f trails a few frames behind the 3600
yeah somebody told me recently they paid a crazy price for a cpu
check your markets
check online, if you can get it shipped across country it's probably worth it
if you get it close to MSRP
eh, my 2600x is fine
;)
for a long time
yeah doesn't seem like a bad choice
I keep thinking I'll get this cpu or something and then switching my mind
where it was 80$
oh?
I'm gonna pair a 9900k to a h310 board just for fun
I wanted to ask for a second opinion on this parts list that im thinking about getting for my 1st pc build
whatever you buy, you can always sell it on ebay in 3 months, upgrade to 5600X
probably gonna leave my build for a while
just wanna be able to play games with my dad
if you're upgrading, it's a terrible time to upgrade lol
yeah
unless you're on the budget side of things
where your precious companies didnt think enough to add parts for
hopefully the cpu I'm looking at goes on sale for black friday
especially if you're upgrading to a 3070, when fanboys can still cling to the 6000 series not being as good as everybody says because no benchmarks are out yet. keep the prices nice and high.
pretty sure the prices will be 10-15% lower in about 2 months
sure
lol
I wasn't talking about you
over all their marketing
nvidia fanboyism is worse here than USA
im scared that my pc case is gonna suck
there's a reason for those fanboys
I bought a case without really researching into it
and its called losing trust in buyers
Well we will have to wait and see what amd has to offer for 6000 series (most likely the rtx 3000 series will still beat it lol)
people price a 970 like a 5600XT
from AMD
once a company releases a high end GPU, they expect it to work as advertised
nvidia messed up this time
with 3080 drivers
and the 2080 series with the space invaders hardware defects in significant volume
the case I bought supports atx but I'm pretty sure it's designed for micro ATX
and the time before that, and the drivers not working the time before that
But imagine if the 6900xt could beat the 3090 i highly doubt it tho
They still have problems to fix
the 5000 series graphics was using a new node, hence driver issues
it's silly to think the 6000 series is going to have the same issues
that they took a year to fix
that'll lose you some customers
does the average buyer know that?
Its probably gonna have issues but probably not as bad
it doesn't seem like the average buyer cares
I dunno I have always bought at the mid-end of a generation and never had a single issue, 270X, 470, 580, 5600XT
and everybody in my family has a PC similar or identical to mine...
I feel like mid range hardware is always just right for me
I still have a phenom x2 running in my media center
@little osprey me too i'm exactly the same lol
Mid range is the sweet spot for gaming in my opinion
High end is too expensive and low end isn't powerful enough
plus my electric bill 😆
Oh yeah that's one thing most people forget about
I need to check what my max power draw is
My old system is a 9400f+rx470 but today I bought an rx 5700xt
I only know because I recently bought an uninterrupted power supply thing, has a read out on the display
There is probably some free program that could tell me my power draw
If I had to guess it would probably be 300 to 350 watts
that sounds spot on
The recommended psu for the 5700xt from amd is 700w but my 500w will definitely cut it
closer to 300 than 350 but depends on the brand and how much they overclocked it
I'll be overclocking for sure
i need help overclocking
still returns
idk how to
has some info on power draw
First get msi afterburner
250w peak
he didnt specify which part lol
True
there is no need for msi afterburner for amd cards
Amd software is kind of a pain to deal with
dunno if you've tried lately
they've been getting better
but it seems very easy now lol
still msi afterburner is better
until we see how good "rage mode"
is with the new cards
Msi afterburner is straightforward with 0 gimmicks
Its not
I'm looking at the manual overclocking panel in AMD software, I see GPU tuning, VRAM, Power, and fan
so 1click oc
Its uses 5th gen ryzen cpus to somehow get more performance out of 6000 series cards
shared access memory
is separate to rage mode
there's both SAM and Rage
SAM does 3 times more than Rage mode does
I've been using afterburner forever and there is nothing really wrong with it
no nothing wrong with it
hey guys
Hi everyone, I live in France and I've got a completed build that draws around 260W on a 650W PSU (space to upgrade in the near future with the new hardware that's been released/announced).
The power here where I live is kind of unstable, with short brown or black outs especially in the winter times.
I was wondering what kind of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) someone could recommend me that isn't too expensive, budget is max €200 or so, and could also support a newer GPU such as the 3070 whenever I'd like to upgrade.
I just bought that exact thing
@viral prairie I think VP1600ELCD falls exactly in line with all your requirements
hi im an idiot, tear me apart 🙂
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8z28Mv
the gpu is a placeholder until the end of the week, that turns into a 1660 ti
@queen meadow thanks, I'll check that out
@long topaz well since the 3600X is more available/cheaper than 3300X... it's a good low ultra low power pick. It might even run league of legends and rocket league... or... facebook games
well, I can say, it can run league
I mean... I'm guessing you're going to save up for a graphics card for 6 months after you get this PC
everything but the graphics card is much higher calibre than a 1660ti
Im buying a proper monitor at the same time
what are you going to buy instead of a 1660ti
1660ti will never get close to using the capacity of the rest of the machine
everything will be running at 20% while your 1660ti will be at 100%
I play mostly R6 CS and League so it runs fairly well in that case I'ld say
I mean the 1660ti is a good place holder 👍 even for months
yeah it will be great for those games
so my experience using that one on an intel machine influenced this sorta
I would wait 6 months and keep the 1660ti
but maybe look at a budget card in 6 months
besides Im not gonna put my res above 1080p pretty much ever xd
you will probably get something 3 times the power for a hundred usd
maybe 1440p in a few years 0_0
well 150-200
yea Its just that the 1030 is just the post card
whats the cheapest build i can do without having a bad pc?
i got that last week
I think 1080p monitors are about to vanish tbh
hello guys.. i needed some help with pc parts
nah dude
can anyone help?
whats up
Hie eveyone
i think in less than 2 years 1080p monitors will be 1 in 10 monitors
sure whats your budget and what's your brand inclination on CPU
hello
heh maybe
ok so these are basic components i am thinking to go for
so is this good enough for gaming and streaming?
brother did you just type 3080
yup
when the worst graphics card of this current gen can play 1440p in every game
why is there a 3080 in there you cant find those?
i mean yea its good but you wouldnt be able to finish this machine for a while
so is this good enough for gaming and streaming?
@woven vessel looks good but whats the cpu?
yeah the stock will come for everybody soon
the cpu is ryzen dude
ryzen 7 5800x
oh
yea it would work well
I can't see anything being out of stock much into next year
oooohhhhh
you gonna get the 3070? @queen meadow
but you can probably afford downgrading unless you need it
definitely not lol
@woven vessel I would suggest getting a 2070 for right now then upgrade to 3080
I always buy cards on $/fps
wait for stocks to rise a bit
hes making a wait for list i think techno
makes sense
Oooooooooohhh
and nvidia is always price hiked more than AMD in Australia specifically
so there isn't much contest
@lofty mica dont have that much money to spare. and apart from that i am not in a hurry.. i'll start collecting parts when they come in stock
dont get the card or cpu on stock? --> buy something else thats cheaper or wait, i think everyone knows that
I'm pretty sure 6800 will be more than $79 better than the 3070. but we'll have to see
but yea definitely a respectable parts list I think
currently the 3070 in my country is over $700USD so, who knows if that $79 difference will even exist for me
if money isnt an issue
Knifey you might as well have had a family member ship one from the US xD
I think if you're considering 3070, just wait a week or two for real 6000 series benchmarks
the price is close and you don't want to get completely splattered for $79
I honestly am going to wait on the Radeon a little just because I want to know how well it works with a ryzen CPU in benchmarks
might be worth waiting the extra time and ignore the 1660 ti :/
they did tell you that in the AMD release
im talking third party
fair enough
AMD is fairly accurate but GPU company benchmarks are always iffy
even if they cherry picked the settings for games, which they didn't because they specifically said what the settings were
they may have cherry picked games, which I don't think they did because... it seemed like the games reviewers use a lot
they can standardize plenty of things, but companies can get away with a lot
I don't know how they could cherry pick things to make the SAM and RAGE boost better than it is?
so its down to GN reviews and such
because it's a % of the FPS score
RAGE boost is stupid
the name is stupid
lol
make sure you watch the gamers nexus video from the 29th about it
have
there may be something about rage mode
there was one for a bit more recent, it was like 2% for RAGE
🤔 okay so all it does is unlock max voltage
barely any performance gain
like pushing the limit slider in software overclocking
I'm wondering if there is actually something that physically changes on the card or if it's just a physical switch to a software setting in the firmware
this may be something that actually helps the card overclock 🤷♂️
as far as I understand it, i dont believe it aids in OC
it will certainly be interesting
ahhh they have said it doesn't OC, and it's not an OC
that's a very different thing in saying it doesn't AID in overclocking 😄
yeah because whenever you're overclocking in a serious way
previously they have always hacked some numbers somewhere to increase the amount of voltage
they have to bypass the safety limits built into the card, so there's definitely a relationship with OC and more voltage
anyway I gtg 😄
how long do yall think i could get away with using the stock wraith cooler on a r7 3700x
or should i just get a 3rd party cooler 
until entropy
am using a 2010 dells to play video games lmao. 😦
had to look up that word
if you can afford it, just get one
lolz damn right
it'll probably look better, and definitely perform better
am saving
prob
just figure out if you want an AIO or air cooler
Good news is you can get a really good tower-style air-cooler for relatively cheap these days, and in most situations they perform as well as or (in some cases) even out-perform All-in-one water coolers
hi guys
wassup
yeah definitely gonna go with an air cooler
Ive had to ring up some 3070 and its truely painful
and it works now
i pressed the power button and it booted up once
and turned off and now its working fine
if i use an AIO should i hear some water sounds
no?
like a little trickle
idk i dont use one wait on someone else
uh the radiator is on the top
it will probably go away in time then, it's just getting air-bubbles out to the top of the loop
oh ok
assuming it's newly installed
yeah it is
alrights soo, is there a direct upgrade from ryzen 7 3700x or atleast a counterpart -> 5000 series
can't word it right but yeah xD
you mean is there going to be a 5700X?
^ yah yah ;w;
ryzen 7 5800x and 5900x
are ryzen 7 5000 series choice for now
AMD have done a cool thing with AM4, so yeah, you should be able to drop in the new CPUs when they come out but it may require a bios update, I'd check with your mobo manufacturer
what i'm saying is that, most likely there will be a 5700X, just not on launch, BUT they have not confirmed one yet
oh so prolly they'll slde the other models quietly
yes, they'll release the XT versions and the non X versions for sure, so we know there are more 5000 series CPUs coming
ryzen 7 5800x and 5900x
@brave harness that is false
Looking to build a pc with a ryzen 5000 series and either a 3080 or 6800 xt(whichever I can get lol). should I be getting the rest of the parts piecemeal?
the 5600X, 5800X, 5900X and the 5950X are all being released upon launch, plus the 5600 is confirmed as well I think
Looking to build a pc with a ryzen 5000 series and either a 3080 or 6800 xt(whichever I can get lol). should I be getting the rest of the parts piecemeal?
@gray cairn piecemeal?
oh yea
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
@gray cairn same plan actually
well sure, but how long are you going to space out getting the parts?
and its generally better to buy all the parts at once
Untill I can get the gpu
ok
So you're looking at buying the parts now and most likely getting the gpu at December-February
if you buy all the parts besides the GPU at around the same time, there won't be any issues
tho just for reference, would an aorus x570 master be a good match with a 5000 series (i mean some kind of cpu that you guys might recommend) + 3070 or 3080, or i might be missing some functionalities
yeah that's fine
but
it's quite expensive
a 350 dollar motherboard?
the b550 tomahawk has literally everything you need, good look, great VRMS, overclocking capabilities, 4 memory slots, gen 4 m.2 slots
all for 170-180 bucks
mhmm
i'm assuming you're a new builder and don't know how much to spend on parts?
yeah TwT)
i currently have 400 ish hahaha, tho was aiming for 2000 by the end of the year
i see
350 is VERY overkill for a 2000 dollar build budget
do you want me to make you a parts list
PC Hardware has not been so exciting in years, really looking forward to when demand and supply normalise a bit, I think I'm going to go on a PC-building binge XD
created this back then when 3000 was not out yet, tho yeah i'd appreciate it if you would @vague maple ;')
also no idea how to pair memory and motherboard, so yeah, guide me guys ;w;
you're good
i would change the m.2
though I think you could swap the ram for 3600 c16
Pairing mobo and memory is much easier these days, since basically every board support DDR4, it's about tuning performance more than anything - XMP profiles even take care of clocking the ram correctly at a bios level.
Honestly, for gaming 3600 c16 like MrManiac suggests is probably the sweet-spot for price performance. Though, I am hard pressed to notice any difference between CL16 and CL18 tbh
maybe also upgrade to a 3070
oh, oh my did not see the cl18 there, price kinda the same right so prolly switching won't hurt
didn't notice the GPU XD
if you can wait on GPU you may be better getting a 3070 or AMD equivalent when they are available
i mean i'll prolly get the graphics card late, not really expecting to save till late january or feb
oh k
case tho ;'0, i mean
another thing is try and get an m.2 that is gen 4
yooooo
oh, is it true btw, like x570+ 5000 series would do things to the mother board (i mean positive ones xD)
mind if i splurge my build idea?
if he's just using it as a boot drive I don't think that'll matter much, if anything he could go a little lower end for a boot nvme
if u say so
then grab a high performance 2tb Gen4 SSD when he has the money & direct storage is out and in-use
for games that use it
that's pretty big brain
for older games, the spinning disk whilst not the most ideal is waaay better bang for buck in terms of storage
when your poor so you have to do a sub $600 build
true
gen 4 is kinda like the copper one right? (aorus)
All builds are beautiful and need love 😛
what about this one?
and others
anyone have suggestions for a sub $600 AU
where's the cooler
lol
kidding ive got an h100i from my old build i can use if its compatible
i wouldn't recommend amd stock cooler though
H100i has an AM4 mount last I checked, if your missing yours then Corsair are usually good at sending out spares
thank god
its not that bad, just not recommended for overclocking
so id need an AM4 mount?
this is what i have but kinda expensive
should come with one, the metal bits that slip into the pump head and hold it onto the mobo should slide out and be replicable. If it's the h100i I think it is
I might have an older model of the H100i, dont know how much theyve updated it but I bought mine 4 years ago.
@pale ivy thats a pretty expensive build
what country? @pale ivy
i think he maybe Australian
sadge
Corsair sell a mounting bracket kit for their hydro series coolers for about 5-10 USD
anyway don't go TT Smart
not particularly good psu series, often kills computers when they fail
I see your PC will run GLaDOS
perfect
I need to make sure I get my carbs in
you'll be getting 1000fps
even at 720p?
nah 8k
pog
here's my pc build
you think I should have more than 750w for my power supply?
who pinged me
running pretty much the same build as you @tiny cape
might need to reserve extra 100 watts for rgb
dude that's an awful build @tiny cape everything is so horribly overpriced
might need to reserve extra 100 watts for rgb
@elfin swallow do you REALLY think 100 watts go to RGB alone?
i want sick rgb
Need those LEDs to be viewable from the moon
^
still doesn't mean that RGB ever consumes 100 watts
who pinged me
me :0, tho kinda had a general idea on what route i'll take
i live in Australia so it's different pricing
I was entirely joshing about 100 watts for RGB if you couldnt tell
i made this list of parts but i think it's aight (i think, kinda outdated and needs some changes, c16 and stuffs)
thought you were using us dollars
I was entirely joshing about 100 watts for RGB if you couldnt tell
@elfin swallow i was hoping you were
don't worry
750W fine for 3070 build then?
@tiny cape i would recommend downgrading the psu to 650-750 watts, upgrading to cl16 ram and you definitely need more storage
a firecuda is honestly overkill
i went for 850 because it was the same price as 750
oh ok
I heard the new cards suck power tho
@elfin swallow they do, 650 as a minimum is very very high
reposting just incase =w= (might consider b550 but pcie gen4 :x)
ok
I tend to aim high on PSUs, mainly because they use better parts at the higher end, but there's a point of diminishing returns on that.
In my experience 750 is a good sweet spot
i cant tell if that motherboard is overpriced though, since pricing is off, but converting it to usd to is 285 dollars, which is WAY too much for a build like that @tiny cape
I tend to aim high on PSUs, mainly because they use better parts at the higher end, but there's a point of diminishing returns on that.
In my experience 750 is a good sweet spot
@west coral not necessarily
there are amazing budget psus out there
the evga br
corsair rm 650 watts
honestly idk
reposting just incase =w= (might consider b550 but pcie gen4 :x)
@bronze salmon b550 has gen 4
lots of issues with that build, you want me to list them all or just send me the link and ill rebuild it
you want rgb?
tho i'm not sure if it will help but, kinda want a black and white system xD
ok
yeah some rgb's i guess ;')
ok
rgb makes your pc performance 10 time better
^ True facts
I put RGB into my PC, runs 10C cooler
granted I changed the case and fans at the same time, but that has nothing to do with it
if u hate rgb then u have no soul
kinda into these kinda fans
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hdhy4d here you go
I would STRONGLY recommend waiting to see how the 5000 series cpus preform
The minimalist cage design is interesting, but I dunno, if the cage doesn't diffuse the light perfectly it could be a bit glaring
but I can imagine, if they do diffuse the light nicely that could be a cool in a clean looking/futuristic themed build
maybe in white, or ARGB
oh, @vague maple thanks ;')
np
360 mm CPU AIO not a bit overkill?
it is, but to be honest, the price jump from 240/280 to 360 is like 20 dollars
Fair enough
no reason not to do it unless you're not a extensive budget, which then you shouldn't be buying aios
Nothing wrong with overkill mind, I have a 360mm rad simply because it looks good
xD
what board do you have?
look up either your board's manual or a picture of the board and look for the fan headers
they're pretty easy to find, they have 4 pins usually
ah ic
still, just look for the little 4 pins
then read their label for Cha
somebody having trouble with MEE6 😳
@clever sonnet here are the fan pins on the motherboard]
you have 5 pins
1 pin for the cpu fan
and extra 4 for case fans
but they do not let you control the rgb scheme on the bios directly or using 3rd party controller software
who can help me build a new setup?
im planning to get the 5600x with the 3070
now i just need the correct motherboard and ram and all of those parts
are you upgrading for future parts?
im building a whole new setup
but in the near future are you going for upgrades?
lemme check newegg
ok
do you need RGB or go for minimalistic?
are you budget wise type?
i got a budget but its not in dollars so i dont know how much exactly
and also, will i be able to control all of my rgb from one program?
Right now is not the best time to be building
Y?
Y? @thorny tusk
Because all the price Will probably drop begining of next year
im looking to build a whole new computer for streaming how does this look and anything i should change
its too much in shipping 🙂

PSU: Corsair CX750F RGB White — 750 Watt 80 Plus Bronze
for storage and casing not sure on your part also the fan varies @timid bronze
@past briar for storage im looking for 500gb nvme gen 4 if the motherboard supports that and a 2tb hdd
and fans i just want some good fans that will be easy to sync
but seriously though id wait to see how AMD's 6000 series gpus end up doing, you might actually be able to get one too...
im going to keep my eye out for the new gpu's but i plan to build this pc in the next month or two
im just waiting for a few deals on cyber monday
@burnt current same
Everyone is just sitting ducks at the moment
places are starting to have deals already so its only a matter of time
you might want a HDD just for some extra space. 1tb is sadly to easy to fill
@past briar dude that X570 AORUS XTREME is so expensive wth
yeh i have a 2tb hdd at home so i didnt bother adding it to the list
ah yeah that should do it
xtreme is overkill TwT
that is just so extreme
true
hi guys
hello
i was thinking about the asus rog b550f, is that a good mobo?
where do i plug my front fans in
im going for an MSI B550-A PRO
does the asus b550f have gen 4 nvme support?
looks like it yes

@timid bronze
why a auros mobo and not asus?
not sure if the psu supports rgb daisy chain with the software for Aorus but has Icue
@timid bronze gigabyte are like rgb addicts
i heard asus has aura sync and it works with razer synapse
asus not kind of type of aura sync but has razer synapse
and not sure what razer supports for hardware
i would prefer for everything or atleast most of the things to be controlled within razer synapse
if u want full ass RGB everything to your bedroom and your rgb room
go for certified Razer edition hardware
since i don't know much about razer since their LTS sucks
and price wise too
yeah thats what i want buy how can i know what hardware has razer support
your not limited to the hard ware
just limited to what manufacturer gonna support to deliver if u going for razer
also idk much for razer hardware sorry
i know that every accessories they have has rgb support just don't know what type of hardware are they supporting at
i think im gonna go with the asus b550
hi guys im getting a o11d and im looking for some quiet but good performance fans
i tought of going full p12 pwm pst, ik they are really good but i wonder if there are any rgb fans as quiet as the p12 or noctua a12x25
any suggestions on upgrading my pc? i just posted pics a couple mins ago in build pics
@stoic island I might need your help later
@little osprey I would say a better motherboard in the B450 chipset, a better GPU in the RTX 20- or 30- series, a higher wattage PSU that's 80+ certified, and maybe a case with better airflow. The CPU, RAM, and Storage are good.
@little osprey dony get a new gpu unless u want a new one, new psu maybe new case
building a pc with the gf she's super new to the gaming world thoughts on this parts list
Reason: Duplicated text
i will give someone nothing if they can put together a pcpartpicker list of a budget of 650 $$$$
One purpose , two builds. Which is best to go?
I'm in dillema, I could buy older CPU build at great deal of price
https://il.pcpartpicker.com/user/des/saved/MPtFgs
or
new upcoming amd build which will be much more costlier, please note that that in both builds there are few parts that are already purchased
https://il.pcpartpicker.com/user/des/saved/4kZd99
ok for the i-7 build a 1000w psu is way overkill
and you could get a WD blue 1tb for storage
@uncut pelican @little osprey thanks buds 👌 🤘 ill copy those comments aand keep them in my notes, greatly appreciated
Of course! Anytime.
Np :)
i was thinking of saving up for the 2080 ti, and knew id have to upgrade the mb just wasnt sure in what direction to go with that, same with upgrading my psu
gotta love it when you have 32gb of ram from a friend and your motherboard doesn't support it because it's a hand me down with ddr3
damn 😦
yikes
what can i build for 650?
i got 4x8gb ddr4 2400mhz from a friend
that green lightup tho 😮

@real cobalt https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dYrVcT
good question, personally for me, the R7 instead of the i7
@real cobalt https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dYrVcT
@coarse path u changed PSU there , but i already have it purchased 😄
also isn't MB too old for zen 3 r7 5800x?
@coarse path u changed PSU there , but i already have it purchased 😄
@real cobalt ok then I though you were gonna buy
You can set an item as purchased in pc part picker
@little osprey https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7sL2Vc
o my why thank you
@grave coral wtf is that list
@little osprey please dont build the list spunky sent
ok....
wtf am i looking at..
Kolm
budget/use of this pc ?
people will stop getting dramless drives
but like why in the first place
At some point
until then, we can't have world peace
This means war
people just click sort by cheapest
god kolm please let me compile you a real list
and click cheapest thing
Ima go see if I made a list yesterday
10100 with 2666mhz ram beats 3100 in gaming
what you looking at then
because 10400f should be higher bin than 10100
link whatever you're seeing plz
Got a question bout os
Intel's i3-10100 CPU is basically an old Intel i7 CPU, except way cheaper. Intel gets credit for that, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. Tests ft. i3-10100 with 2666MHz & standardized RAM vs. Ryzen.
Sponsor: Buy EVGA's RTX 2060 KO on EVGA store (https://geni.us/p8YW)
Watch ou...
Wheres the best site to buy os at
eBay
I do not think so
start off, same thing in total war
of course intel will be losing in some games due to the nature of the game, all im saying is a 2600 at that price point is outrageous to say the least
Tomb raider same thing
the 10100 and 3100 trade blows in gaming performance
I'm just saying
10100 with 2666mhz ram isn't better than a 3100
It's not really worse
but it's not better
at this price point we need to make compromises such as that
unless we would like to go 3100 and a520
really depends on @little osprey
I would personally do this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f6Qqp2
or b550 if you stretch it a bit
question, why not the matrexx 50 ?
is the core 11 better for airflow ?
ive seen the matrexx 50 in a lot of budget builds
always assumed there would be a good reason for it
According to Naed it's good enough
@little osprey Thank you for the sound and helpful advice I'm still a little new to the pc building arena so thank you for the helpful tips!
not matrexx 50 my bad
matrexx 30*
@little osprey Thank you for the sound and helpful advice I'm still a little new to the pc building arena so thank you for the helpful tips!
@grave coral aight u gucci
@stoic island I'm prob going to increase the budget I set to 2k that way I van get new case and ram just so ik that it's not old and all new
I'm curious, what are the actual prices for A520 boards? Going off of PCPP, they're not much cheaper than B450s
See? They're just 5 dollars cheaper than B450, I don't get it
they're supposed to be a side step from b450
only part i got that ill be using
lose some io
the others are going to be what ever is in the pcpp
and you get some future compatibility
and the pcpp you sent one sec
I suppose that makes sense
ok
how much ram you want
perfer 32
do u need 32
i was thinking trident sticks
also @stoic island whats the legend role u got on ?
