[karmic bobcat]

Is a ryzen 9 3900xt and rtx zotac gaming 3080 with 32gb of ddr4 ram good?
@true copper that’s a good rig. Probably more optimal value for cpu, but if budget ain’t a concern then yeah

This is my first build and I am getting 16gb of ram at 3200mhz
@acoustic radish then probably a B450 Tomahawk Max

[acoustic radish]

Is the asrock B450 steel legend a good option?

[true copper]

@karmic bobcat alrighty thank you then

[sonic drift]

I have an x570 Steel Legend Wifi AX and it's pretty decent, so I'd assume the same could be said for a b450 version

[karmic bobcat]

Well hold on

Do you plan on overclocking your 3100?

@karmic bobcat alrighty thank you then
@true copper np

[acoustic radish]

For the moment no

[karmic bobcat]

Then yes your fine

Keep in mind if you upgrade your CPU or you decide to heavily overclock

[still roost]

A Divine Rise#0104 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[karmic bobcat]

sweats profusely

VRAMs aren’t the best

[acoustic radish]

Ok, thanks bro

[karmic bobcat]

Np

[narrow rose]

If anyone knows about gigabyte aorus boards hop over in #cpus-mobo-and-memory and give me a hand if you can

[prisma stag]

best program to control fans on mobo

like

the sys fans pump fans cpu fans

anyone know ?

[little osprey]

@prisma stag

Does the bios not have a fan utility?

[prisma stag]

yes but i have dragon center program on desktop that lets me control them without going into bios but the mystic light that is on dragon center, intereferes with iCue according to corsair cause it overrides settings, so i was trying to find a diff program that ppl use

[little osprey]

Just use the bios and set a curve you like and apply. It's extremely easy

[prisma stag]

Thanks but like I said Im looking for a program that people use

[little osprey]

Sounds like your over complicating something that's easy

[prisma stag]

Sounds like you are missing the point

[prisma stag]

Nice

Don't want to restart the computer to mess with fans when I don't have to

Which is why

I asked my original question

[little osprey]

Just set it in the bios to the curve you want then use MSI after burner to set a curve on the gpu

Good luck ignorance is bless

[prisma stag]

Not to be rude but I didn't ask for a tutorial on curving my fans

[unborn flicker]

Omg dont like the answers then shut up lol

[prisma stag]

Didn't answer my question

[unborn flicker]

They did

[prisma stag]

No

[unborn flicker]

They use fan curves in bios

[prisma stag]

I asked for a program

Not bios

[little osprey]

Dude is straight up ignorant. I wouldn't advise helping him.

[unborn flicker]

I kno ignorance is bliss

[steady geyser]

Whats a good pc build for 650-800$?

[unborn flicker]

Who jeeds software. When the intelligent man uses the tools given on the pc to prevent bloatware of add on software

[prisma stag]

?

The guy that doesn't want to restart computer to mess with fans

If you don't know the answer

then dont talk

[lyric thistle]

lmfao

[unborn flicker]

U do it one time idiotttt

[lyric thistle]

what do you do when the BIOS doesn't have fan control software

[jagged ember]

That's impossible

[little osprey]

Hahaha

[lyric thistle]

just blow on your computer

just stop the fans with your finger

[jagged ember]

Lol start the fans like you start your plane engine

[little osprey]

Dude is a noob 🤣

[lyric thistle]

@prisma stag I haven't had luck with fan control programs

[unborn flicker]

And if read instead of complained he see one person said msi afterburner

[prisma stag]

Dragon center I can control the fans without going into bios

[jagged ember]

That's only gpu fans joes

[lyric thistle]

afterburner for gpu fan smh

[jagged ember]

Lol

Dragon centre works too but

Ew

[prisma stag]

https://www.msi.com/Landing/dragon-center-download

This controls fans

Like I want

but it has mystic light

I want a program

like that

[lyric thistle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Centre 😳

[prisma stag]

but different cause dragon center has mystic light

[jagged ember]

It installs other programs along with it

[prisma stag]

exactly

[jagged ember]

YOO

[lyric thistle]

Dragon Centre 😳

[jagged ember]

It's actually a place lol

[lyric thistle]

I would also like a fan control program tbh

[prisma stag]

then dont

poke at me

[little osprey]

You don't need software for the system fans. The bio has optimized settings and manual settings. Gpu needs software though with after burner. I told him but he's to stubborn and noobish to listen. Acting like a simp to me pfft

[prisma stag]

for asking

@little osprey Do you think i'm dumb? I know that

[little osprey]

Yes

I do

[prisma stag]

Go to bed

[lyric thistle]

let me make this clear, I'm poking at them lmfao

[little osprey]

Truly a 🤦‍♂️🤦🤷‍♂️🤷

[coarse coral]

cut the crap stop arguing with each other

[lyric thistle]

lol

[unborn flicker]

🤣

[lyric thistle]

anyways I started blasting

[prisma stag]

What program would yall suggest for controlling sys fans?

[little osprey]

[sacred knot]

when installing the ryzen 5 stock cooler, do you still need thermal paste?

[balmy patio]

no

[ebon wing]

@sacred knot the thermal paste comes pre applied

[plush rapids]

Fr

[sacred knot]

preapplied on the cooler right?

[ebon wing]

yes

[balmy patio]

yep

[sacred knot]

ayt thanks

[balmy patio]

unless you somehow rub your finger all over it, you should be good

[little osprey]

I use this

[sacred knot]

ill make sure not to touch anything 🙂

i havent received the cpu yet

but i should be getting it soon

[ebon wing]

you should re apply thermal paste once in 2-3 years

[sacred knot]

thanks for the info 🙂

[soft solstice]

Thoughts? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nd2wz7

[little osprey]

Make it a thin coat of thermal compound.

[ebon wing]

kinda underkill monitor

[prisma stag]

Just put a dab in the middle of cpu

thats all u need

[ebon wing]

would highly suggest a 4K 144hertz

[lyric thistle]

x method

[ebon wing]

I would say make a cross on the IHS as amd IHS is big

[prisma stag]

x method works too

[ebon wing]

or do it manually

[little osprey]

I spread it manually with a card super thin. Less is more. The less thermal compound the better conduct you'll have with the cpu heat spreader and the heat sink

[prisma stag]

There is no need for that tho

simple x or a dab in the middle is just fine

[little osprey]

I don't take advice from you

[ebon wing]

just apply a X or a drop in middle

[sacred knot]

so wait... then i need to apply thermal paste for the ryzen stock cooler?

[prisma stag]

not giving it to you

giving it to the person that needed help

[ebon wing]

so wait... then i need to apply thermal paste for the ryzen stock cooler?
@sacred knot
stock cooler comes preapplied

no need to apple thermal paste

[little osprey]

Lmao you don't even know how to use the bios lmao

[sacred knot]

okay cos all that talk about applying it made me think i needed

lmao

[lyric thistle]

lmao lmao bios fan control lmao lmao

[ebon wing]

people usually change the thermal paste as it is better than what company applies but it should get you through amd stock configurations

like without OC

[little osprey]

You should look into an aftermarket fan or AIO

[ebon wing]

nah R5 3600 stock cooler is fine

[sacred knot]

wait i dont understand what you said @ebon wing

[little osprey]

Boosting will be higher and more stable

[ebon wing]

@sacred knot what cpu do u have

[sacred knot]

ryzen 5 3600

[ebon wing]

then its fine

stock cooler is fine

[little osprey]

Oh a 3600 lol

[ebon wing]

no need for a AIO or beefy heatsinks

[sacred knot]

yeah thats what ive been told so i didnt order one

[ebon wing]

3600 is a cool chip

[little osprey]

My 3700x needs an aio to keep that 4.30Ghz going

[prisma stag]

You should ramp up ur fans

with ur bios

[little osprey]

I'm blocking him

[ebon wing]

undervolt it

[little osprey]

Had enough of that

[lyric thistle]

xd

[sonic drift]

He's technically not wrong, but no use in keeping it going

[prisma stag]

"Hey guys what is a good program to your fans?"

errrrrrrrr just err use ur errrrrr bios errrrrrrrr

[sacred knot]

man just give it up

[prisma stag]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-huh-stupid-idiot-gif-5042504

[sonic drift]

Speedfan

[lyric thistle]

my day be so fine

[sonic drift]

dabs

[lyric thistle]

then boom BIOS fan

[little osprey]

To get more out of the cpu. Find a good debloat script and run in powershell. More bang for your buck

[prisma stag]

@sonic drift You use speedfan?

[sonic drift]

I used to, yeah

[ebon wing]

or use Icue software if u have corsair fan

[prisma stag]

any good?

@ebon wing Yes I have icue

[mystic needle]

what gpu and cpu should i get since the amd 5 5600x is going to be gone for a long time and i doubt i’ll get my hands on the radeon

[prisma stag]

You can control fans with it?

[sonic drift]

It was decent. Kept track of my temps and could control fans

[ebon wing]

@mystic needle budget ?

[prisma stag]

See these are the answers I was looking for when I originally asked my question.

Not the ones Hybrid was throwing out

then he got mad

Thanks guys

I'll play with iCue and try to figure it out

Didn't know it had fan control

[mystic needle]

@ebon wing like 1500

[ebon wing]

cpu and gpu alone

or whole pc

[mystic needle]

whole pc

im just worried about if my computer will be able to run the newer games coming out

for a while

[ebon wing]

yeah yeah it will be able to do dat

R5 5600X
b550 aorus pro
cheapest 2x8 gb 3200 or 3600 mhz ram (avoid lpx and oloy)
samsung 860 evo 1Tb
nvidia 3080
corsair 4000D airflow
corsair rm 750 watt PSU

check this build on PCPP

[sonic drift]

I'm saving up for 3000 series, I have an 1070 ti rn

[ebon wing]

@mystic needle

[mystic needle]

oooh

well i kinda fricked up

[ebon wing]

why

[mystic needle]

cos the b550 taichi

i already bought

[ebon wing]

ohh no

it isnt even that good

[mystic needle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pBRHz7

[ebon wing]

b550 aorus master is much better

[mystic needle]

this is what i did

i wanted my board to be compatible with my case

[ebon wing]

wait

wait

lemme see

[mystic needle]

newegg has returns right?

okey

[ebon wing]

yes

how much storage do u need

can you "happily" live ur life with 1 TB

[storm quartz]

Hey is there a way to use a Sata SSD as a large cache for an HDD?

I'm asking for a future build

[ebon wing]

I don't think so mate

as cache is limited on a ssd

[storm quartz]

I'm thinking to put the SSD and HDD in raid if not

Then just RAID it then?

[mystic needle]

wym? im getting 2TB hard drive

[ebon wing]

yeah

wym? im getting 2TB hard drive
@mystic needle
how much storage do u need

[storm quartz]

I have a 2tb sshd, its not enough lmao

[mystic needle]

like ssd,

?

[storm quartz]

Solid state hybrid drive

Sshd

[ebon wing]

how much storage u need

[storm quartz]

Hard drive with solid state buffer

[ebon wing]

just tell me

[lyric thistle]

it's a hard drive with a flash cache

[storm quartz]

Worst mistake ever

Ye

[little osprey]

ummm my fps counter reached 1200 fps. glitch or what?

[mystic needle]

2 TB to me sounds fine 😮

[ebon wing]

it is totally dependent on u

[storm quartz]

Yeah

[ebon wing]

will u use the 2TB

[mystic needle]

but this would be my first build so im not sure how much i need

[lyric thistle]

I would rather have a 2TB HDD with the 256MB of DRAM

[ebon wing]

I can probably fit a 3080 in that build

@mystic needle what monitor u got

[mystic needle]

none

[ebon wing]

3080 in a 1500 dollar build is fully doable

without causing bottleneck

thx

my autocorrect

[rugged raven]

I have a Ryzen 7 3700x and a 1050ti. It’s a bottleneck but will it damage any parts?

[ebon wing]

budget for a monitor ?

@rugged raven no

[mystic needle]

like 200-250

[ebon wing]

u dont

have a bottleneck

[mystic needle]

wait but it says the 5600 is not compatible

mine says the same

[ebon wing]

@vague maple bad build

coming in a second

wait

[mystic needle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pBRHz7

like i get the same error

so the b550 taichi should be fine?

[cinder shard]

hi guys I am new here my real life name is Exocet

[mystic needle]

ohhhhhhhhh

just like interesting stuff is all

[ebon wing]

but yes @ebon wing tell me how its bad
@vague maple
that motherboard is barebones asf

ik

@mystic needle dont just add any PSU

see a PSU from PSU Tier list rev 4

[mystic needle]

wym

[ebon wing]

in PSU tier list all PSU have been tested out by some guys

[mystic needle]

ohhh

[ebon wing]

no

he didnt

[lyric thistle]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

[ebon wing]

5600x on a barebones asf motherboard

no VRM cooling dude

that will melt

[little osprey]

anyone wanna give me a 400-600 build for gaming?

450-600

ping me

What do you recommend

[ebon wing]

U sure> crucial P1 is old
@ebon wing u sure?
@twilit wing yes

What do you recommend
@twilit wing

WD Blue is old, yet they still make them new

[twilit wing]

@twilit wing
budget?
@ebon wing 1100

[lyric thistle]

P1 is fine

[ebon wing]

but the performance drop is insane @lyric thistle

[twilit wing]

Maybe

[ebon wing]

it writes drops to 60 mbps while being hot

people have problems with that ssd

[twilit wing]

Bet

[lyric thistle]

slap a heatsink on then

[twilit wing]

[twilit wing]

U sure?

[ebon wing]

yes

[twilit wing]

I could die

[ebon wing]

Should i get AO cooling?
@twilit wing

that all being said, I still use SATA because I can't use NVMe :)

for SATA drives, I like the WD Blue 3D

[sacred knot]

what surface is best for building pc?

[left shore]

I built my PC on carpet lol

[lyric thistle]

cardboard, wood, glass

[sacred knot]

concrete, granite?

[lyric thistle]

if you have a glass table surface

[left shore]

I just touched my PSU every one in a while to ground myself

[sacred knot]

xD

[left shore]

My GPU isn’t cooperating with me

Like whyyy AMD

[sacred knot]

does it matter what you stand on?

[mystic needle]

@vague maple

[left shore]

I just bought a used 5700 XT

[mystic needle]

like i know you said no to think about it

[left shore]

And I was playing and it froze and crashed

A couple times

[lyric thistle]

I just get a steel pot or frying pan and set it next to my building station to touch every now and then

[twilit wing]

give me a budget please
@vague maple 1100

[mystic needle]

but like it says not compatible so idk 😳

[lyric thistle]

a big "sink" for static buildup

[twilit wing]

😋

[left shore]

AMD drivers suck lol

[twilit wing]

Damn

[lyric thistle]

PCPP warnings are stupid :)

[mystic needle]

oh okays heheh

[lyric thistle]

the man named AMD

:)

[mystic needle]

it’s just that i know im not supposed to worry about the bios update but seeing a second warning made me anxious😳

[sacred knot]

i cant wait to start building but im stressed out too

[twilit idol]

Was doing some more research for my build and I found a really nice case with 4 fans included

[left shore]

So what’s a good used / new GPU for 389

[twilit idol]

I’ll take a look for you

For now I’ll say 5600xt or just a 5700

[left shore]

I have the Red Devil 5700 XT

And like

Idkkk I’m trynna fix it lmao

[twilit idol]

What’s wrong with it?

[left shore]

Probably was my drivers or something but idk

[mystic needle]

so like the radeon 6800 gpu’s coming out

should i just get that

[left shore]

I play Fortnite and all of a sudden it freezes and my PC reboots

[mystic needle]

because i don’t want to wait for the 3070 to come out

[left shore]

I was streaming too

[mystic needle]

again

[twilit idol]

This going to be my build but I’m waiting on the new GPUs and CPUs to come out first https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GHvt8J

[mystic needle]

i mean like come back in stock

[left shore]

But now I got a specific driver so idk

[mystic needle]

also the radeon is said to be better so im just confused

[twilit idol]

That build is $1350 and my budget is $1500

I really saved a lot on fans

[mystic needle]

apparently 2x as powerful as the 2080ti

at least that’s what amd claimed

sounds a wee bit sus tho

[twilit idol]

Im waiting for the Ryzen 5 5600

[left shore]

Ouu I like or

It

[twilit idol]

I feel like i wont need the 5600x

The pc itself was $1200

Then with added peripherals it would be about $1450

[left shore]

My PC is super expensive

Well I think

Actually not really

[twilit idol]

My current pc is a prebuilt with a couple things I’ve changed

Got a 240 aio and 16gb 3600mhz ram

[lyric thistle]

it's not that the computer is expensive, it's that poverty prevents people from affording the computer

[twilit idol]

Me too

Gotta cheap out where it counts

No I mean I build I had

[mystic needle]

how long does anyone expect we will need to wait for the 5600x

[left shore]

I posted my PC in #build-pics

Lol thank you

[twilit idol]

That’s above budget

Current build I got going can accept the 3070 with $50 left

Yeah it’s the same one linked up there just with the 3070

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nBmz7X

I’m really liking this one

[idle hawk]

not bad metro

[sharp tundra]

Rate this build, its my roommates:

Ryzen 5 3600
Zotac Gaming 1660 super
Sabrent NVMe M.2 1TB
HyperX 2x8GB 3200mhz
ASUS b450a
Thermaltake 550
Corsair 4000D Airflow
Corsair H100i AIO

[left shore]

Thank you @idle hawk

[lyric thistle]

looks nice but I see Thermaltake and 550 and all I can see is Thermaltake Smart so

[twilit idol]

Oh he built in the case I planned on using last time

[lyric thistle]

I really don't care about cable color xd

but if it fails I don't want it

[twilit idol]

I did

[lyric thistle]

if I found a good condiment PSU I'd use it tbh

[twilit idol]

Does that motherboard support overclocking?

[sharp tundra]

@sharp tundra he has a sabrent ssd but a 1660s?
@vague maple what did you mean by this

[twilit idol]

I was going to try a bit of overclocking

I’ll use it

Yeah

750?

[left shore]

I have a 750W PSU would I be able to run a 3070?

Oh ok

[lyric thistle]

CPU is 65 watts, overclocking won't do that much on that side

[sharp tundra]

@vague maple oh no he doesn't have the $300one, he got the $120 one

[left shore]

I have a Ryzen 5 3600

[idle hawk]

ummmm when it comes to overclocking

my 9900k is supposed to be 90w

[left shore]

I slightly overclocked it to 4 GHz

[idle hawk]

overclocked to 4.9 takes 200w

[sharp tundra]

I had to search it up cause his ssd was cheaper than mine, I wasn't sure what you were getting at lol

[idle hawk]

9900k

i suppose

yea thats fair lol

[left shore]

What’s the best gaming CPU right now

Like the most overkill

[idle hawk]

up for debate atm lol

[left shore]

I heard those new Ryzen chips gonna be pretty good

[idle hawk]

again up for debate

agreed

[left shore]

I see

[idle hawk]

but im not trying to trigger anyone

[left shore]

Yeah it’s only gonna be 300

[idle hawk]

lets not count the chickens before they hatch

[left shore]

No

Well idk

Fr?

[idle hawk]

that might samples

just like the 3000s series cards they had
samplers

linus and jayz2cent had engineering samples

[left shore]

Wait

[idle hawk]

they had to return them

[left shore]

It did release

[idle hawk]

wait wha

well damm

ill be a monkeys uncle

[left shore]

I think it did yeah

[thorn thunder]

[left shore]

It dropped yesterday

[idle hawk]

i didnt pay for it

one is still is in its gem

[thorn thunder]

i got 2 9900k's
@idle hawk Send to my PA box

Rip lmao

[thorn thunder]

IDK cause I want to get AMDs new 5600 X

[idle hawk]

thats my backup card cause big chungus took all my pcie slots lol

[thorn thunder]

And maybe go radeon for GPU but IDK yet need 3rd party benchmarks

[left shore]

@thorn thunder don’t

WDYT is best for my build and from filtered boards. Its my first build after buying i7-4790k build in 2013.

[left shore]

Get a Nvidia card lmao

[thorn thunder]

Maybe IDK im kinda on the fence dont know what to get ATM

[left shore]

I just got my card and it doesn’t even wanna work

[thorn thunder]

i have a 1070 atm

[left shore]

I had a 1070 TI

[thorn thunder]

if amd has the same performance as nvidia, im getting amd for its smart memory
@vague maple Thats what was thinking

[left shore]

Yeah but they always had driver issues

[idle hawk]

i sent my build in the build pics

[thorn thunder]

Yeah but they always had driver issues
@left shore had

[left shore]

My 1070 TI was a trooper

[thorn thunder]

Not will

[idle hawk]

workin on cable management

its a cable extension

[left shore]

Ouu I like it

[midnight matrix]

@idle hawk does your rad have one fan?

[idle hawk]

for a day or 2 it did

but i did some jerryrigging

[midnight matrix]

Ah ok

[idle hawk]

it took 2 fan slots lol

[midnight matrix]

Kinda looks like your gpu was in the way

[left shore]

I miss my stable GPU

Lol

No

[idle hawk]

I lost a dust filter

[left shore]

Gave it to my brother

[idle hawk]

but gained 3 fans

so now i have 4 fans on the cooler

[left shore]

Lol yeah but I’m trynna get the 5700 XT to work properly

[idle hawk]

technically i have enough to make a mid to high end card

[midnight matrix]

Blow it up

[left shore]

I’m waiting for the 3070 to be in stock steadily to buy it

What CPU

[midnight matrix]

Just sell it

[left shore]

Not too bad

[midnight matrix]

Or take it apart and shelve it

[idle hawk]

metro like said i before dont keep ur hopes up

[midnight matrix]

Shelve is till you lose interest then sell

[lyric thistle]

second computer

[idle hawk]

my other 9900k is still sealed

[left shore]

Yeah ik that’s gonna take forever

[idle hawk]

in its gem

[midnight matrix]

It’s deff not worth what it was

[left shore]

I'm working on it lol

I traded a 1080 ti for the desk and 260 on top

[midnight matrix]

Probs getting the chair for 60$

[idle hawk]

I'm not a fan of the green and black layout

I like red and black

Or if there was a argb option lmaoo

[midnight matrix]

That’s not very razer of you

[idle hawk]

I think I broke RnA

Not yet lol

I also have a msi laptop with a 1070 in it

[midnight matrix]

Bro why 🙃

[midnight matrix]

Wtf?

[idle hawk]

Guess which one is the series 2

[midnight matrix]

Far right

[idle hawk]

Nope

Nope

[midnight matrix]

Orange

[thorn thunder]

[idle hawk]

Ding ding ding

Orange one

https://procontrollers.com/orange-yellow-fade-xbox-one-elite-series-2-custom-controller/

Paid 70 for it

[midnight matrix]

I didn’t know you could customize them

[idle hawk]

Yea look at the price for that custom

289.99

[midnight matrix]

bruh

[left shore]

@idle hawk how you get all this stuff lmao

[idle hawk]

I find a way lol

I was eyeing a yeti x for a while

It took time but I did get a 3080 lol

[midnight matrix]

Do you do the whole “reviewer” thing with Amazon?

[idle hawk]

Nope

Not paying 1500 for a card lmaoo

[midnight matrix]

Yeah dub he obvi got it for 1$

[idle hawk]

Bruh lmaooo

[left shore]

Lmao

I want a 3070

Anyone got one😂

[idle hawk]

I messed around and tried to overclocked the 3080

[left shore]

Fr?

[idle hawk]

Brought the memory to 10kmhz

[left shore]

Oh lol

[idle hawk]

2400mhz on the core clock

[left shore]

Lol no I’m seeking one

What’s boost?

[idle hawk]

Bout 2100mhz

[left shore]

Wait

[idle hawk]

Also that's a great bonus on the card

[left shore]

How is core worse than boost?

[idle hawk]

Huh that was overclocked bro

2400mhz overclocked 2100mhz not overclocked

[left shore]

Ik I was asking what was boost on the OC lmao

[idle hawk]

Ohh regular boosted is 2100mhz lol

I brought it over the threshold

[left shore]

Wait there’s a display on your GPU?

[idle hawk]

Yep

[left shore]

What GPU is that

[idle hawk]

Gigabyte aorus master rtx 3080

[left shore]

Ouuu

[idle hawk]

Yea lol

[left shore]

850 tho

[idle hawk]

Plus tax and shipping

Try 960

Thanks best buy

My original goal was the STRIX

Or the FE

I was delt the hand given to me

Now I have a xbox series x that I have pre ordered that I gotta sell lol

Cause I don't need it no more lol

[left shore]

Is there a 3070 with a display

[idle hawk]

I'm not sure

Maybe the aorus

[left shore]

I would want that

[narrow rose]

maybe a Galax one too

[idle hawk]

Nilbo you been here this whole time lol

[narrow rose]

no got banned just came back

[idle hawk]

Lurking lol

No way

Wha

[narrow rose]

Mee6 bot thought I was spamming when trying to list compatible cpus for a mobo

[idle hawk]

Oof

They should make a dedicated channel for pcpartpicker

Help separate the channel loads

What do you think

[narrow rose]

yeah I mean they would still be all over this channel due to its nature

[idle hawk]

True but

When someone says

"500$ build please"

[narrow rose]

its like trying to get people to put their build pics in #build-pics

[idle hawk]

Direct them there lol

Yea sorry

Lol

That's my b

But I'm slowly break RnA

[narrow rose]

if we do I say you are in charge of enforcing all pcpartpicker lists go in the channel lol

[idle hawk]

As long as I get the techie role

I accept lol

[narrow rose]

I dont have that power but if I did I'd do it

[idle hawk]

Lolol

[left shore]

maybe a Galax one too
@narrow rose wym

[idle hawk]

Watch a mod lurking atm and this becomes fruition

[narrow rose]

Galax 3070 with a screen

[left shore]

Oh that has a screen?

[narrow rose]

the 3080/3090 does not sure about 3070

[idle hawk]

The 3070 isn't as massive as the 3080/90

So real estate is limited

[narrow rose]

yeah it does https://www.galax.com/en/graphics-card/30-series/3070-series/geforce-rtx-3070-exg-w.html

[left shore]

I think the gigabyte aorus 3070 has a screen

[little leaf]

Rip intel ngl

[idle hawk]

Welp it's not a gif screen like mine lol

[left shore]

Lol fax

But

How much more will a gigabyte aorus 3070 be over the FE card

[little leaf]

If you want white I think gigabyte vision is better

[idle hawk]

The memory output on my aorus is massively greater compared to the FE

[left shore]

Lol I mean like price

[narrow rose]

the vision is better if you can find one

[little leaf]

There is 3080 vision

[idle hawk]

https://versus.com/en/gigabyte-aorus-geforce-rtx-3080-master-vs-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080

Check that out before you consider

[little leaf]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N3080VISION-OC-10GD

[narrow rose]

the vision looks great

[left shore]

@idle hawk I meant like price wise how much will a 3070 FE card be vs the aorus one

[idle hawk]

No I Kno but look at the spec by spec comparison

That baffles me

[little leaf]

@left shore kinda steep fan curve

[idle hawk]

He's hitting 70s at decent load

That's to help band-aid a scar

[little leaf]

What card

@left shore

[idle hawk]

Chances are the thermal paste on the card is wearing out or a poor spread

5700 xt

[left shore]

5700 XT

[little leaf]

Which model

[left shore]

Red Devil

[little leaf]

Also why the oc

[left shore]

Idk to be faster

[little leaf]

Oc has very little benefit

[left shore]

Oh ok

[idle hawk]

Said who?

[little leaf]

20mhz

[idle hawk]

Oh ok

[little leaf]

Is not really an oc

[idle hawk]

Yea fair enough

I mean he was suffering from crashes and random shutdowns

[little leaf]

If thats the case

Dont oc

[narrow rose]

why would hitting 70s underload be any sort of problem?

[idle hawk]

I recommended that fan curve and he rolled back the drivers

[little leaf]

He was crashing @narrow rose

I mean he was suffering from crashes and random shutdowns
@idle hawk

[narrow rose]

not because of heat if its only in the 70s at load

[little leaf]

Probably

Whats the psu

[idle hawk]

The driver rollback and higher fan curve seemed to work

Not sure yet

I mean I'm not comfy with 70 degree temps lol

[little leaf]

It might be because he added 20% on power consumption on the gpu

70c is fine

[narrow rose]

I am quite comfortable with 70c

[little leaf]

80c is fine

[idle hawk]

My evga hybrid never hit past 50c underload

[narrow rose]

full load is more of a 80c situation

[little leaf]

85-90c is take a break

[narrow rose]

thermal throttling is a 91c situation

[idle hawk]

Well I had a reference blower style msi 1070ti hitting 80c plus

[little leaf]

@left shore whats the Power supply?

[idle hawk]

That was just fortnite btw

[narrow rose]

my gtx 480 could hit 103c under full load no issues with its toasty max temp of 105 prior to throttling

[idle hawk]

Yikes

[narrow rose]

like a little space heater

[idle hawk]

Understatement

Damm thing heated a studio apartment

[narrow rose]

but thats my point if its in spec its in spec no matter how hot it is

[idle hawk]

The 3080 doesn't go past 60c underload

But turns my case into a heater

Monster hunter pushed it

[narrow rose]

TJ max on a 3080 is 100c so lots of OC headroom if the 60c load is true

[left shore]

@little leaf I have a 750W

[lyric thistle]

that's my little fusion reactor 😍

[idle hawk]

Lmaoo

[little leaf]

@left shore brand and model

[lyric thistle]

touches cutely

[idle hawk]

Owo

[lyric thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-burnt-finger-job-done-gif-13672163

[left shore]

Corsair CX750

[idle hawk]

Seasonic 1300w

[narrow rose]

gamersnexus had 74c under load on their 3080fe no overclock

[left shore]

@vague maple it hit 74ish under 100%

I just installed that GPU

[idle hawk]

I did. Aida 64 stress test and it still didn't go past 60c

[little leaf]

Go back to stock gpu

[left shore]

I think it’s fixed now but I gotta check again tomorrow

[little leaf]

Frequency

[idle hawk]

Happy to help metro

If you did take my advice

[narrow rose]

I mean aida 64 doesnt stress the gpu too much

[left shore]

I think I put the one specific driver someone told me idk if it was you lol

[narrow rose]

run heaven for an hour and let me know the temp

[little leaf]

Download furmark

[idle hawk]

Rip lol

[left shore]

Heaven?

[little leaf]

Furmark nice

[idle hawk]

Tried haven

[narrow rose]

old benchmark puts gpu through paces

[idle hawk]

Doesn't barely touch it

[little leaf]

Try furmark

[left shore]

Haven is good to stress test it?

[idle hawk]

I'll give it a shot

[left shore]

Or furmark better

I heard furmark is good

[idle hawk]

Maybe tomorrow (it's 2:44am) lol

[little leaf]

Furmark runs my gpu at 100%

[narrow rose]

https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven

no I literally mean Heaven not Haven or Heven

[little leaf]

https://geeks3d.com/furmark/

Also has a cpu tester

[idle hawk]

I mean to be fair aida64 will break unstable computers lol

[narrow rose]

same thing gamersnexus jay2cents Linus and everyone else use to test temps on GPUs

[left shore]

Bet

[narrow rose]

@idle hawk only their CPUs not their GPUs

[left shore]

Question

[idle hawk]

It maxed out my gpu tho

[lyric thistle]

answer

[narrow rose]

It clearly didnt if it was sitting a 60c

[idle hawk]

Too much money for it

[left shore]

Is this what the card costs or is it just inflated right now cuz of shortage

[little leaf]

@vague maple the answer is stop playing fortnite

[narrow rose]

gpu needs time to be saturated in heat

[idle hawk]

Runnign furmark

[little leaf]

@left shore inflated msrp is 500-600

[left shore]

Oh ok

I really want that card

But I’m not gonna spend anything above 600 for it lmao

[lyric thistle]

maybe fortnite is a stuttery game

[little leaf]

Fortnite stutters alot

[lyric thistle]

there's an indie game that I play that stutters a bit

stutters for low spec computers and high spec computers

just an unoptimized game

[little leaf]

Stuttering for my 6700 and 1070

[narrow rose]

and a bad server thing too

[little leaf]

And stuttering for a 9900k and 2070s

A 3600 and 5700xt

9700k and 2070s

[idle hawk]

welp i cant really run this stress test

[left shore]

How hot is too hot for a GPU

[idle hawk]

the driver is cause issues

only driver that lets me control the display

[left shore]

And also how long does heaven run for @narrow rose

[narrow rose]

tjmax and close to it is too hot for a gpu

@left shore its an endless loop so you choose when to stop it

[left shore]

Oh ok

[narrow rose]

about 20-30 minutes is enough to get good and saturated with heat

[left shore]

How long you think I should run it for

Oh ok

[narrow rose]

the point is to simulate a long gaming session to see if your overclock on the GPU is stable

[little leaf]

A 2070s ko gets to 70c furmark in like 5 mins

But admittedly its not known for cooling

[left shore]

Is 74C super hot for a GPU?

[little leaf]

Nah

[narrow rose]

nope

[little leaf]

Unless ita idle then yes

[left shore]

Oh ok

I think mine hit 76 on max load

With the “OC”

[shut fiber]

Than your chillin

[left shore]

Oh ok

[idle hawk]

too hot lmao jk

[shut fiber]

Gpus r fine into the 90’s

[left shore]

Hopefully it doesn’t crash during games tho

[narrow rose]

its too hot when you lose video signal and the pc restarts

[idle hawk]

im too used to a gpu that didnt hit over 50c underload lol

[left shore]

I’m gonna try the heaven test for 30 minutes tomorrow

[narrow rose]

yeah enthusiast GPUs are meant to run hot

[left shore]

My Red Devil is a toaster

[idle hawk]

my evga was a aio water cooled lol

[narrow rose]

and it all depends on what their tjmax or max temp prior to throttling is some are 85c some 91c some 100c and even some 105c

nvidia 3000 series cards are 100c

@real cobalt
bump

[idle hawk]

my temp limit shows 91C

[narrow rose]

where?

[idle hawk]

afterburner

[narrow rose]

is it a slider?

[idle hawk]

i maxed it out

and its max is 91

[narrow rose]

huh maybe the tjmax is 91 I thought they were 100

its a 3080 you said

[little leaf]

@real cobalt I don't think you need 32 gigs of ram

[little leaf]

up the speed to 3600 cl 16 and only get 16 gigs

[idle hawk]

@narrow rose

[left shore]

Is that a new afterburner?

[idle hawk]

just the skin

[left shore]

Mine looks older

Oh ok

[idle hawk]

i had to switch to the beta to get voltage monitoring

[narrow rose]

@idle hawk weird yeah it looks like nvidia said 95c for max to its third party developers even though its 100c tjmax

[little leaf]

Rx 6800 looking tasty

[idle hawk]

hmm interesting

[narrow rose]

could be something to do with that capacitor problem they were having

[idle hawk]

maybe but im running an outdated driver on purpose

i finally figured out the rgb fusion 2.0

[narrow rose]

now i want to know if the Asus cards have a higher max in afterburner

[little leaf]

The capacitor prob was it running at too high of a clock speed

[idle hawk]

wouldve matched my system so well if it was a strix

they should

[narrow rose]

its usually just based on the pcb

[idle hawk]

but again im running an outdated driver on purpose

[left shore]

Why do scalpers exist lmaoo

[idle hawk]

to make our lives a living hell

get out of ebay bro

ur only torturing urself

[left shore]

Lol I’m not on there anymore I’m just like so in shock that people create artificial demand for a budget card lmao

[little osprey]

I think I broke my GPU

[idle hawk]

not artifical if ppl want it

uh oh

what did you do

[left shore]

Here’s the thing tho

People want it

But not that many

[little osprey]

It goes up too 100% than drops to 0% on games that it normally doesnt

[idle hawk]

are you overclocked

and which gpu is it

[left shore]

The only reason it appears like people want it is because scalpers are buying it

[little osprey]

@idle hawk it's the Asus rog strix OC 5500xt

[idle hawk]

well ppl are scuum that only want money

another xt card lol

[left shore]

5000 series cards are broken lol

[narrow rose]

I actually want more than just money

[little osprey]

I'm AMD all the way

And this is a new issue

I've had it for 3 months now

It literally just started 10 minutes ago

[idle hawk]

bring it to the graphics card channel @little osprey

[left shore]

@little osprey lol my card came broken af or at least my drivers did

[little osprey]

👍

[idle hawk]

i got you @narrow rose lol

[coral cedar]

people for real fight on this chat

i was looking at previous messages

[real cobalt]

up the speed to 3600 cl 16 and only get 16 gigs
@little leaf its for VMs

[paper eagle]

My roommate just asked me to help her upgrade her PC.. She told me it's an i3.. I told her that doesn't really tell me anything.

I open up the case, and first thing I see is.. FM2 / FM2+

And that it uses DDR3

According to the wording I can see on the mobo

She also told me the only upgrade she's done is buy the "second best nvidia card in 2016", so I made a guess she meant the 1070, but now I'm starting to doubt that too.. At least until I get the chance to gut and take everything apart. She wants to keep the case.

[clever sonnet]

can someone help me get my extra fans in my case please

[narrow rose]

whats the issue

[lyric thistle]

man even a 7890K not that great 😔

[clever sonnet]

idk how to get them in

[lyric thistle]

highest FM2+

[clever sonnet]

like where to plug em in

i just buily my first build by myself yesterday

and booted it up

but i only have my aio running

legit nothing else

[lyric thistle]

the motherboard has fan headers placed in a few spots typically

[clever sonnet]

so i havent used my pc yet

idk where tho

[lyric thistle]

above the CPU, below the PCIe slots, and to the right

[clever sonnet]

oh

what do they look like

i have the asus z390 tuf gaking

gaming

[narrow rose]

there are spots on the case with 4 mounting holes for fans

[lyric thistle]

they look like this

blue circle

[clever sonnet]

do they all have sys fans written on them

[narrow rose]

they will usually at least say fan

[lyric thistle]

the ones that are labeled CHA_FAN or SYS_FAN are meant for case fans

[clever sonnet]

also i need to put plug in like 7 fans

or 6
