deft zephyr
#

;-;\

versed rock
#

Before the Sennheiser gaming headset wave, this was the best headset for the money.

knotty lodge
#

It's like 20 dollars over his budget

versed rock
#

10

stoic island
#

If the budget was 120usd, PC37x would be such a easy reccomendation

versed rock
#

It's 10 CAD over his 120 CAD budget.

#

Yes, yes it would.

knotty lodge
#

14*

versed rock
#

But Canada has to have all these import taxes and crap from the US

little osprey
versed rock
#

Jesus

#

What the heck is this build?

stoic island
#

There easily budget to be shaved off

#

To get space for the headset

versed rock
#

Why are you adding more fans to the P400A?!?

stoic island
#

Don't question just edit

stoic island
#

Don't have time

I'm eating lunch

vague maple
#

the 5600x alone claps the 10900k in gaming performance

knotty lodge
#

Can't you buy a cheaper case?

vague maple
#

oh yeah eating lunch is important

knotty lodge
#

You can cut costs there

stoic island
#

Cool

vague maple

vague maple
#

little osprey
vague maple
#

that one?

#

can't do the cad market sorry mate

versed rock
#

🤔

stoic island
#

@versed rock FYI sx8200 pro is cheaper in cad.

versed rock
#

Oh

#

I was about to do an MP34...

#

The SX8200 is a good drive?

vague maple
#

and the jump from 3200 to 3600 mhz is insanely expensive in cad right?

stoic island
#

It was like 80cad for 512gb last I checked, and mp34 was weird pricing

vague maple
#

yep

stoic island
#

The pro is

vague maple
#

sx8200 pro is great

vestal hare
#

yeah

versed rock
#

I'm not 100% sure on the PSU

stoic island
#

The 3200 to 3600mhz jump matters in cad more for lower budget builds

versed rock
#

I fixed everything else though.

#

And I yeeted that 5700XT Mech OC

stoic island
#

I don't remember remember how good it is

versed rock
#

God that card is bad.

stoic island
#

I think HCG gold was cheap in cad

versed rock
#

Sapphire Pulse is a vastly better 5700XT

little osprey
#

and the jump from 3200 to 3600 mhz is insanely expensive in cad right?
@vague maple no not crucial balistik or g.skill ripjaw

stoic island
#

Oh well

#

Earthwatt is still good

#

@little osprey it is compared to usd

vague maple
#

@vague maple no not crucial balistik or g.skill ripjaw
@little osprey oh ok

#

those are the best value ones anyways

versed rock
#

So, it gets the Mr1111 seal of approval?

stoic island
#

It's a good nuff seal

#

Might've missed smth on mobile

versed rock
#

I replaced the crappy monitor too

little osprey
#

But for cl16 g.skill trident z is like 200 more

versed rock
#

For like, 20 bucks more

stoic island
#

It's a 45cad jump from 3200c16 to 3600c16 iirc

#

Compared to a 20usd jump most of the time

vestal hare
#

Is it just me or does anyone else like the feel of cheap mice

versed rock
#

I don't particularly.

vestal hare
#

like the wired acer stock ones that come with a prebuilt office pc

versed rock
#

Sooner or later I'm gonna replace my Viper with a Model O wireless.

little osprey
versed rock
#

Yes.

little osprey
#

Ok

versed rock
#

Vastly better than your original list.

little osprey
#

I gtg

viral ore
#

earthwatts gold?

versed rock
#

Canada pricing

#

It's a good enough PSU

viral ore
#

no, but are they good or not

vestal hare
#

is the bottom price in canadian dollars?

versed rock
#

Yes.

#

The PSU is good enough to get the job done and not explode.

vague maple
#

@versed rock there's an ASrock phantom atx b550 for 100 dollars usd, it's the cheapest atx b550

#

might wanna swap out the a pro for that

versed rock
#

Nope

vague maple
#

ok

versed rock
#

Not giving someone an Assrock board.

vestal hare
#

that's a nice setup build

vague maple
#

you dont like asrock?

versed rock
#

Nope

viral ore
#

asrock makes great boards lol

vague maple
#

why not

vestal hare
#

my friend has a 5700xt

versed rock
#

I refuse to buy Assrock boards.

viral ore
#

dont listen to his opinions

vague maple
#

ok then

#

yeah i know

#

lmao

versed rock
#

Their Z170 boards made me so frustrated I wanted to chuck it out the window

vestal hare
#

wait what's wrong with asrock?

viral ore
#

nothing

vague maple
#

nothing

versed rock
#

Their BIOS is literal ass and XMP NEVER works.

#

I chuck the same kit in my MSI board I had in the Z170 days? Worked just fine with XMP

vague maple
viral ore
#

specifically, their z170 boards, skiptrace, dont drag the entire brand through the mud over one product

versed rock
#

I will

vague maple
#

lmao

versed rock
#

Because unless they had an entire shift between then and now, their products are still bad.

viral ore
#

well

#

i dont know what to tell you

vague maple
#

they have had an entire shift between now and then

viral ore
#

but am4 asrock boards are goated

#

every single one

vague maple
#

reviews of their recent boards have been quite positive

vestal hare
#

yeah asrock boards are perfectly fine

viral ore
#

they have the absolute cheapest am4 board, and even that works well

vague maple
#

they have the cheapest b550 atx board

#

and its great for the price

stoic island
#

B550m pro4 and B550 phantom gaming 4

vague maple
#

it would be a solid board at 120-130 even

stoic island
#

Great features and bios that works at least for the reviewers

torpid notch
vague maple
#

mhmm

versed rock
#

Nope

vague maple
#

lemme take a look at it

versed rock
#

That build is 💩

torpid notch
#

rip

versed rock
#

Straight up 💩

vague maple
#

dont be so crude

vestal hare
#

I have never seen that brand of memory

vague maple
#

but yes that build can and will be improved vastly

#

@torpid notch ill make you a build list

torpid notch
#

ok thanks

vague maple
#

guessing your budget is 1300?

versed rock
#

Fine, if the Phantom Gaming 4 is a good board for reviewers, I guess they changed.

vague maple
#

@torpid notch is your budget 1300?

polar python
#

Thoughts?

torpid notch
#

well budget is 1200-1300

#

for mine

vague maple
#

ok

stoic island
#

Take a look at it

vague maple
#

its 1300 with a 3080

vestal hare
versed rock
#

Is it the SX8200 Pro that is the good SSD?

vague maple
#

yes

stoic island
#

Mhm

vestal hare
#

yes it is

stoic island
#

I'd slightly prefer SN750 over SX8200 pro over MP34, but very slightly, and only at same price

vague maple
#

^

versed rock
stoic island
#

For small speed differences

versed rock
#

Done

#

The GPU is a placeholder.

stoic island
#

Oh yea

#

My list has a 300$ 5600

versed rock
#

Wait

stoic island
#

If you can't get a 5600

versed rock
#

3600X?

#

WTF

#

Whoops

stoic island
#

Slap smth else in there, there's enough budget left

vestal hare
#

yeah the sn750 is one of the best nvme ssds for a reasonable price

vague maple
#

change that right now skiptrace lmao

versed rock
stoic island
#

Mp34 is the literal best imo

analog hearth
#

I have an XPG

stoic island
#

107$ for 1tb of NVMe storage with dram with E12

analog hearth
#

I like it

vague maple
#

get the mp34 over the 8200 pro skiptrace

stoic island
#

Price to perf wise

vague maple
#

better value

versed rock
#

Did I just straight up miss it?

stoic island
#

Because saving that 20$ is somewhat significant

vague maple
#

^

versed rock
#

Oh, i did.

midnight matrix
#

Where’s a list online of all the ssds that have dram

analog hearth
#

I mean yeah if it's $20 less than the XPG then definitely go with that

versed rock
stoic island
#

@midnight matrix ssd master sheet

midnight matrix
#

Ok thx

sand sleet
#

I was able to secure a 5600x. Next week I will assemble my new system but with my old gpu till I can get a new one probably next month.

versed rock
#

I might actually buy a MP34 soon...

stoic island
analog hearth
#

it's just SSD loading speeds. a hair of a difference isn't that big of a deal yet

stoic island
#

Link here too

vague maple
#

uncut pelican
#

I got the monitor for my build today

vague maple
#

stoic island
#

vague maple
#

uncut pelican
#

Its an asus tuf 24 inch vg248q i think

vague maple
#

nice

versed rock
#

Uhh

vague maple
#

the 280 hertz one?

versed rock
#

There was never a TUF VG248QE

uncut pelican
#

Its 165hz

versed rock
#

Unless they made some new model of the VG248QE, I own one, and it isn't TUF, nor is it 165hz

uncut pelican
#

Which is double mine now

versed rock
#

It's a 144hz TN monitor from 2012 that should not be bought in 2020

vague maple
#

lmao

analog hearth
#

you don't need TN

vague maple
#

you never need tn

uncut pelican
vague maple
#

tn is awful garbage trash

analog hearth
#

iirc TN is actually more expensive than IPS

versed rock
#

WTF

analog hearth
#

oh unless you already have it

versed rock
#

Asus, why.

vague maple
#

0.5 ms response time

#

dang

vestal hare
#

one sec

exotic saddle
#

Can someone put together a build for me?

versed rock
#

Probably with like ultra-uber-hyper Overdrive on it.

uncut pelican
#

It was only 220 usd

vestal hare
#

Can someone put together a build for me?
@exotic saddle budget?

analog hearth
#

what resolution?

exotic saddle
#

2k for pc, peripherals, dual monitors

#

don't worry about the gpu, its not for high end gaming

vestal hare
#

resolution?

stoic island
#

Hello again, feel like I've seen you before

vestal hare
#

of monitors

exotic saddle
#

uh

versed rock
#

Is it for Rendering?

analog hearth
#

yes, resolution

exotic saddle
#

no rendering

versed rock
#

Because a high-end GPU can really speed up rendering.

exotic saddle
#

1600x900 res

versed rock
#

Wat

vestal hare
#

just average use?

versed rock
#

No.

stoic island
#

What are you doing with it?

versed rock
#

1080p

analog hearth
#

oh god

versed rock
#

At least

exotic saddle
#

average use, its for my brother

#

all he does is watch anime

vestal hare
#

k

versed rock
#

Then why are you spending 2K on it?!?

stoic island
#

God damn

vestal hare
#

2k is a bit high for average use yeah

exotic saddle
#

is 2k too much for all that?

versed rock
#

Just buy him a used Optiplex

stoic island
#

Spend 1k on it and call it a day

vestal hare
#

yes

stoic island
#

Lel

exotic saddle
#

how about 1.3k just for the pc

stoic island
#

I can do a list soon if you want

versed rock
#

A used Optiplex with a GTX 1650 Super would do just fine

stoic island
#

I'll brb

exotic saddle
#

thatll be great thx

vestal hare
#

yeah

#

do you want the parts new or used

exotic saddle
#

prefer new

vestal hare
#

k

vague maple
#

1.3k just for the pc?

#

wonton

versed rock
#

Get him 2 1080p monitors, a Used Optiplex with 16GB of RAM, and a GTX 1650 Super and he'd be set for a long time.

vague maple
#

i have a build thats perfect for that

versed rock
#

It's just for watching Anime though.

vague maple
vestal hare
#

1.3k just for the pc?
@vague maple he is making an average use pc that's a bit high a budget

versed rock
#

Like, a Raspberry Pi could do that.

exotic saddle
#

hes 14

versed rock
#

Jebus RN, that's stupid overkill for watching anime.

exotic saddle
#

and hes begging me for 8 cores

vague maple
#

wtf

exotic saddle
#

but i told him 6 cores is enough

vague maple
#

hes only watching anime?

versed rock
#

Tell him he's stoopid

exotic saddle
#

i tell him he's stupid everyday

vague maple
#

dude get him a 500 dollar build or something smh

#

i have a great value 700 dollar build

exotic saddle
#

he's also wanting 16g ram

candid seal
#

Whats the easiest way to get an rtx 3070 build?

exotic saddle
#

for a guy that doesn't game

versed rock
#

Well, 16GB of RAM is fine

#

It's kinda the bog standard now.

vestal hare
#

HE IS NOT GAMING AND HE WANTS 8 CORES WHY

vague maple
exotic saddle
vague maple
#

its the best performance you can get at that price range without making any dangerous cuts

stoic island
#

alright

versed rock
#

Wonton, i'd seriously consider just going with a Used Optiplex that has 16GB of RAM, slap a 1TB SSD in it, and a GTX 1650 Super for display output and call it a day.

stoic island
#

I can try to edit now

versed rock
#

Yeesh, A520?

exotic saddle
#

used pc kinda oof though

versed rock
#

I'd at least get B550...

vague maple
#

bro

versed rock
#

Even I don't cut on the motherboard.

vague maple
#

its a 700 dollar build

exotic saddle
#

my brother told me to ask hwo many cores u guys got

versed rock
#

I mean, cores ain't everything.

vague maple
#

i have a 4 core cpu smh

versed rock
#

Tell him that.

vague maple
#

skip, naed and nil checked out that mobo and they said it was fine

vestal hare
#

4 cores is enough for average use and some gaming

vague maple
#

it can handle 3600 mhz ram and got decent vrms with a m.2 slot

#

that's really good for the price

vestal hare
#

8 cores is extremely overkill for what he's gonna be doing

vague maple
#

yep

#

i mean get 6 cores

exotic saddle
#

just a quick summary for what he does

vague maple
#

the price difference doesnt exist

vestal hare
#

I have a 6 core cpu rn

vague maple
#

between 4 and 6 cores

vestal hare
#

and it rocks

vague maple
#

WONTON

#

MY 700 DOLLAR

vestal hare

vague maple
#

vital warren
#

vestal hare
#

@vague maple lmao

exotic saddle
#

i won't get my hands on one of the 5series now

#

unlikely

stoic island
#

dunno

exotic saddle
#

this is a good choice for him

#

cheap too

stoic island
#

I say that'd be more than enough for day to day use

exotic saddle
#

should i downgrade that 2060 to the radeon from the other build?

#

saves a couple bucks

stoic island
#

test

vestal hare
#

f cant send a link to a used optiplex

stoic island
#

discord is dying on my end lmfao

#

nah

#

2060 is real nice for features since you don't really need the performance

exotic saddle
#

oh okay

stoic island
#

like NVENC, RTX, DLSS, if they want to do stuff

vestal hare
#

8 cores 3tb 16gb for anime

#

this guy

stoic island
#

bro

#

I use my 8 cores 3tb 32gb for anime

#

smh

vestal hare
#

nah

#

he has his priorities straight

#

anime before everything else seems bout right

vague maple
stoic island
#

mhm

exotic saddle
#

ty rn

stoic island
#

but anyways

#

I'd do my list

#

for upgradability

#

because he's gonna grow out of just anime

vague maple
#

i'm not too sold on the gpu though, i feel like if i spent some more time i can get a better value build

#

but that should be everything you need

#

easily

stoic island
#

also

#

did you need peripherials or no

#

because I added em to ma list

vague maple
#

@exotic saddle wtf does your brother need 3 tb for?

exotic saddle
#

anime obviously

vague maple
#

just give him my original 500 gig list, tell him when it fills up you guys can get a 2 tb hard drive

vestal hare
#

he needs 3tb for the "homework" folder

stoic island
#

you know anime homework takes a lot of space right

vague maple
#

because that build has a great upgrade path and will handle 1080p 144 hertz games as well if he goes down the gaming route

exotic saddle
#

oh okay

stoic island
#

@exotic saddle you need peripherals, headset+keeb+mouse or no

exotic saddle
vestal hare
#

he needs dual monitors too apparently

vague maple
#

not that one

#

ill resend

exotic saddle
#

dual monitors and keyboard, already have mouse and headset

vestal hare
stoic island
#

awww

#

what headset

vague maple
stoic island
#

it better be an audiophile headset

vague maple
#

lmao

stoic island
#

if not, return and buy a pc38x

exotic saddle
#

fusion a70 or smth

stoic island
#

the hell

vague maple
#

for his moa-

vestal hare
#

vague maple
#

vestal hare
#

stoic island
#

#

vague maple
#

exotic saddle
#

oo thatll be nice for him

vague maple
#

stoic island
#

and btw

vague maple
#

wonton you saw the build i sent that i recommended right?

exotic saddle
#

i should get him a theater so he can watch anime on big screen

vague maple
#

the 500 gig one

exotic saddle
#

yeah

stoic island
#

PC38x may be a "gaming" headset

vague maple
#

ok good

vestal hare
#

PC38x Sennheiser Anime Headset

stoic island
#

but it's actually good as an audiophile headset, unlike basically all the other gaming headsets

vague maple
#

i still dont get why he needs a setup just for watching anime

vestal hare
#

because

vague maple
#

he can literally just watch anime on tv

#

netflix has so many animes

stoic island
#

I copy paste flac file now

#

no

#

netflix so bad

exotic saddle
#

its because he has a laptop thats like 200 and my dad wants him to move to a desktop for highschool

vague maple
#

i see

vestal hare
#

he can do vr anime now

stoic island
#

like it's been what 2 months since the first ep of sao of the new season

vague maple
#

mhm

dusk hollow
#

@vague maple means I don't have to use the pre applied thermal past on my aio

#

not sure what's better

vague maple
#

thermal paste is thermal paste

dusk hollow
#

I guess

vague maple
#

pretty sure you're not supposed to add any thermal paste if your aio is applicated

dusk hollow
#

I cleaned off the thermal paste that was on my aio

vague maple
#

why?

narrow rose
#

yeah just use alcohol most likely a 3rd party paste will be better

vague maple
#

damn really?

vestal hare
#

I took apart my family's old pc from 2007

odd crypt
#

Hey is this good?

vestal hare
#

#

gt 620 (upgraded from original comp.)

vague maple
#

never seen that case before @odd crypt

vestal hare
#

3 gb ddr2

#

and an old wifi card

vague maple
#

isn't rosewill a psu maker

odd crypt
#

Ye

vestal hare
#

the motherboard was also dead

odd crypt
#

And some other stuff

vague maple
#

you can get better cases at 60 dollars for sure

vestal hare
#

and the gt 620 is stuffed with dust

odd crypt
#

Well it has case fans

vague maple
#

right

#

does the case come with all 4 fans though

little osprey
#

Ryzen 5560.

odd crypt
#

They kept the case on a carpeted floor

vague maple
#

wow

odd crypt
#

Yo

vague maple
#

evga made gpus that far back?

vestal hare
#

the inside of the case was even worse

#

absolutely caked with dust

dusk hollow
#

@vestal hare F

vestal hare
#

It ran vista

#

and it couldnt even post

vague maple
#

daaaaaaayum

vestal hare
#

cause the motherboard was dead or something i think

#

and the psu was sooooo bad

#

and enormous

#

barely fit in the case

#

Imma try and revive it with a new mobo

vague maple
#

why

vestal hare
#

and psu

#

because

vague maple
#

dont revive what is already dead

vestal hare
#

I like old parts

vague maple
#

it goes against the law of nature

#

let that gt 620 rest

sleek hull
#

Gonna Pet Cemetery that PC?

vague maple
#

it's earned it

vestal hare
#

the gt 620 is finally going to rest

#

deciding on the replacement rn

#

would a 750 ti be ok?

vague maple
#

dunno what you're using it for

#

if you're replacing the cpu

vestal hare
#

just a secondary pc for fun

vague maple
#

i would just go with the igpu on that

vestal hare
#

on a core 2 duo?

#

oh wait

vague maple
#

nope

#

nope

vestal hare
#

upgrading

vague maple
#

oh god

#

its a core 2 duo

vestal hare
#

the prebuilt case only accepts a specific mobo

#

so im stuck on lga 775

vague maple
#

i would go with like a 980ti or something

#

if you get them used, it's like 100 dollars isnt it?

vestal hare
#

thinking of getting a core 2 quad extreme?

#

saw one for around 30-50 bucks used

vague maple
#

get a 4 core cpu smh

#

they're so cheap now

vestal hare
#

that is what im getting

vague maple
#

ok

vestal hare
#

but yeah

#

im gonna gradually revive some parts upgrade others

#

I want it to live again

vague maple
#

ok

vestal hare
#

it will be running vista to commemorate the original pc

#

don't hate me

#

it's nostalgic

vague maple
#

WHY

#

ITS VISTA

#

WE'VE IMPROVED FOR A REASON

vestal hare
#

it's time to forgive

vague maple
#

you're going to hate yourself you know that?

vestal hare
#

yup

#

I always wanted to try to build a vista gaming machine

vague maple
#

that doesnt exist

vestal hare

it will

I will make it happen

And I will share it here

vestal hare

because

#

I can

vague maple
#

ok bro

its your vodka

Vodka freezes at a way lower temp than water, wouldnt be a terrible idea

@vague maple rock lee type beat

vestal hare

I can take a picture of the case if you guys wanna see

little osprey
#

wat case

vestal hare
#

i'm keeping the optical drive

#

I'm reviving my family's old 2007 pc and making it into the world's first vista gaming rig

vague maple
#

ok

#

take a pic

#

hi mxmo

wild rover
#

Why would you intentionally subject yourself to vista

#

its the windows 8 of windows 7

vestal hare
#

my goals are beyond your understanding

wild rover
#

yes, yes they are

vestal hare
#

@vague maple I forgot to mention that the back panel is irremovable

vague maple
#

wtf

#

why

#

how

vestal hare
#

yea

#

or you need a special tool from dell, that probably hasn't existed since 2010

#

they use these custom studs or something

little osprey
#

what are the best rgb fans on a budget because i really dont wanna spend a huge amount of money buying corsair fans

vague maple
#

jesus christ hyper

sour silo
#

Uphere rgb 5 pack @little osprey

vestal hare
#

This is what it means to go even further beyond

little osprey
#

ok but i only need 4

vague maple
#

wait

#

lemme look at some fans

vestal hare
#

remember he needs the rgb to make it go faster

vague maple
#

not uphere

#

the uphere fans are trash

vestal hare
#

also please nobody buy alienware prebuilts on a budget

little osprey
#

oh then what do you recommend

vague maple
vestal hare
#

they leave like 2 cm of airflow for the intel stock cooler

vague maple
#

yeah smh

#

if you can afford to spend more money

vestal hare
#

yeah

vague maple
#

there are some great coolermaster options

vestal hare
#

800 dollar budget or below for alienware prebuilts is a no go

#

if you have to get watercooling on it

vague maple
#

mhmm

little osprey
#

so what fans do you guys reccomend if uphere is bad

vague maple
#

the coolermaster sickleflow or the coolermaster masterfan are also amazing but 50-60 dollars for a 3 pack

small osprey
#

Arctic freezer ii 240mm is $100

vague maple
#

monster i sent a fan recommendation

sour silo
#

Uphere has good reviews and i had personal experience with uphere rgb but Thermaltake fans are clean aswell

little osprey
#

uphere is hell at best

vague maple
#

^

#

mxmo knows where its at

gritty zenith
#

so im not sure what to do atm, the original cooler i ordered for my mini itx build finally came but idk if to keep it or sell it. It has a higher tdp limit than the noctua nh-l9i i currently have, and it also supports am4 out of the box, as well as being 1mm shorter in height. but its blue and i like black Bored

little osprey
#

ok thanks

vague maple
#

if you have a noctua cooler

#

np

#

keep that

vestal hare
#

damn

vague maple
#

noctua is genuinely amazing at cooling

vestal hare
#

the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 Quad-Core Processor going for 250 dollars lmao

vague maple
#

wow

vestal hare
#

refurbished

vague maple
#

i would say keep the cpu cooler because its always nice to have extra pc parts for troubleshooting

gritty zenith
#

noctua is genuinely amazing at cooling
@vague maple i mean i get that, but look up the performance of the jonsbo hp-400 if you don't know about it

vague maple
#

ok

vestal hare
#

ayyyy

small osprey
#

noctua is genuinely amazing at cooling
@vague maple yes

vestal hare
#

but i found a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 for 10 bucks lets gooo

little osprey
#

i might go with the thermaltake ones and then get one ll120

vague maple
#

ok

little osprey
#

the case im going with is the 4000d airflow

vague maple
#

ll20 is overpriced as hell but looks great

#

amazing choice of case

gritty zenith
#

ngl, i have only used two fans from noctua and i love noctua so far a lot bc the quality is superb

vague maple
#

very good airflow and look

meager pumice
#

@wintry sequoia what case you have?

vague maple
#

yeah i wished they made white rgb fans

#

i would be ALL OVER THEM

#

but instead i have to settle for overpriced white ll20s smh

sour silo
#

I agree ll120 are fire but hecka expensive

gritty zenith
#

but if i stick to the nh-l9i i will b stuck to a max upgrade of a 5600x

#

noctua needs rgb fans 😭

vague maple
#

whilst with the jonsbo what would your max be?

gritty zenith
#

110W

vague maple
#

ok

meager pumice
#

why doesnt noctua make normal coloerd fans? lol

gritty zenith
#

so i could push to an undervolted R7 maybe

vague maple
#

so you can chuck in a 105w tdp

#

cpu

gritty zenith
#

yeye

vague maple
#

why doesnt noctua make normal coloerd fans? lol
@meager pumice the process for making the colors affect performance

gritty zenith
#

the jonsbo feels really nice too, like build wise

meager pumice
#

oh

vague maple
#

it took them forever to get a chromax black process without sacrificing performance

#

at least thats what mr111 told me

vestal hare
#

wow

#

that's fun

vague maple
#

i still wish they made white fans and white rgb fans at slightly lower performances

little osprey
#

yeah imma go with 4 coolermaster MF120s

vague maple
#

i would still buy them constantly

#

yeah imma go with 4 coolermaster MF120s
@little osprey great choice

#

look at the sickleflow and masterfans as well

#

those are coolermaster fans

little osprey
#

i did

#

i like the look of those ones tho

vestal hare
#

my old headset broke the other day and this temporary one im using is soooo uncomfortable

vague maple
#

ok

#

oof

little osprey
#

and what motherboard would u reccommend if i have an i7 9700k and getting a 3070

vague maple
#

uh

vestal hare
#

one sec

little osprey
#

full atx

gritty zenith
#

WOW omg

vague maple
#

have you already bought the i7-9700k?

gritty zenith
#

i can actually have the best of both worlds

vague maple
#

how?

little osprey
#

yeah ive owned it in my old prebuilt

vague maple
#

oh ok

little osprey
#

im just making some upgrades

vestal hare
#

thank god

sour silo
#

Whats your budget for a mobo

little osprey
#

idk

gritty zenith
#

bc the jonsbo stock according to some test results someone did is better at cooling than the l9i, but gets even better cooling if swap the fan on the jonsbo to an NF-A9x14

little osprey
#

what do u think is best

vague maple
#

either the z390 a-pro or the msi mpg z390 edge

#

both are good value motherboards

#

bc the jonsbo stock according to some test results someone did is better at cooling than the l9i, but gets even better cooling if swap the fan on the jonsbo to an NF-A9x14
@gritty zenith smartttt

little osprey
#

ok cause i was looking at a x490

gritty zenith
#

so with that being said the jonsbo seems to have better heat pipes

little osprey
#

z

gritty zenith
little osprey
#

z490

vestal hare
#

I have a weird z390 I plucked out of a prebuilt gaming machine

vague maple
#

a z490 can't support 9th gen can it?

little osprey
#

idk

gritty zenith
#

YES it can

#

z390 supports 9th gen

vague maple
#

it says it cant on pcpp

#

no i know that

#

im talking about z490

gritty zenith
#

o

#

O

#

MY BAD LOL

vestal hare

vague maple
#

mhmm

gritty zenith
#

rip

#

better investment tho

#

sell that danged 9th gen

vague maple
#

^

vestal hare
#

I would just get a b550

#

and sell the old cpu

#

then get a Zen 3

little osprey

vague maple

ok

#

the msi a-pro?

vestal hare
#

little osprey
#

i was worried

vestal hare
#

it keeps your data

sour silo
#

Gaming edge z390 does have wifi im pretty sure

#

That's what I use

sour silo
#

vestal hare

the transition was sooo great

little osprey
#

i cant i dont have a wifi router near me

vestal hare

vestal hare

vague maple
#

yeah same lmao

little osprey
#

my mom doesnt want that

sour silo
#

I have a router thats on top of my desk

vestal hare
#

nice

vague maple
#

easily

#

and run it underneath the carpet

little osprey
#

ik

#

well thanks for the advice

gritty zenith
#

would you say a low profile cpu cooler is good enough for a standard atx build?

#

whoops

#

lol

vague maple
#

yes

#

lulz

#

np

gritty zenith
#

bc i don't want to sell my noctua nh-l9i if my dad could use it in his build

sour silo
#

Yeah i used to use a stock amd cooler

gritty zenith

he is gonna have a R5 5600x

@sour silo any msi b450

vestal hare

I dont have a high enough budget yet

vague maple
#

oh

#

money constraints

#

goddamit

gritty zenith

msi promised 5000 support for all their b450

vestal hare
#

gonna be able to get it by june of next year at the earliest

vague maple
#

jesus that is early

#

at that time you can probably find a 1000 series gpu for the same price

grim tide
vague maple
#

maybe even a 2000 series gpu

sour silo
#

I was thinking a Msi tomahawk max b450

vague maple

you can go that or a msi a pro

Can somebody make me a gaming pc list? If so, then budget 1300$ US i want RGB and The stuff i want is a Ryzen 5 5600x. Thank you.

vestal hare
#

k

#

I already have a build made

#

for that budget

gritty zenith
#

straight off the msi website, x470 or b450 have the widest range of support, meaning best upgrade path, allowing you to get that sweet 5000 cpu when you can upgrade. or, if you can fork over the extra money, an x570 msi board also supports ryzen 2000, so then when you finally do upgrade to 5000 if you also have an rx 6000 card, you can then utilize smart access memory for the best performance

fourth of all that psu is a ticking time bomb

gritty zenith

can anyone make me a pc list for school/gaming, budget $800. little rbg, good cpu, gpu and ram
@grim tide with those demands we also need to know what kind of gaming you're looking to do

grim tide
#

light gaming

little osprey
#

for ur 800 usd budget needs <3

cursive haven
#

thx

little osprey
#

@vestal hare i appreciate your effort but try and get a bit more knowledge on pc parts before recommending a full build to smo :P

grim tide
#

@little osprey any under 700?

gritty zenith
#

its the same build just different ram lol

little osprey
#

@little osprey any under 700?
@grim tide https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RDk7Xb 700 here, 5600xt is priced at 250 cus msrp is 310 but 60 usd promo code. as well as we could go to H410 socket type to save even a bit more but this should do :)

grim tide
#

i have 0 idea what u just said but ill agree with it

gritty zenith
#

op build

#

gg

little osprey
#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Nky4d this is $13 over budget but faster ram for max perf
@gritty zenith yep 3600 Cl 16 is better for performance but then again it's going over budget. we could get rid of that secondary drive and introduce a better case along with keeping the memory but yep that seems enough

vestal hare
#

mxmo what memory should i get then

little osprey
#

anything other than vengeance lpx, crucial or vulcan are good options

Hey everyone i just joined the discord! 🙂 So ik this might make many cringe but rn i use a all in one 27 inch desktop for graphic design and streaming games from Nvidia Geforce Now. I know its bad. ;l I'm looking to build my first pc and want some help I can spend about $500 not including monitors of course.

little osprey

how is it now https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wbtbht (the case needs to be this my bro really likes it)
@vestal hare hmm swap out the ram kit for 3600 CL 16 for that extra bit of performance, idk about the storage tho P1 is kinda eh from what i've heard. That psu could be better try and get an Antec earthwatt or a neoEco pack. Also good luck getting your hands on zen 3 much less rdna 2
