ok thx @foggy hazel

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome

#

and best of luck getting the parts

weak field
#

id wait for the 3800x for a bit

#

the new cpus are gonna drop the price the of the older ones soon

#

not by much

#

maybe 15-340$

#

40$

#

but if that doesnt matter then buy it now

#

also amazon has uphere 3 pack of wireless rgb 120mm fans for pretty cheap

foggy hazel
#

no, prices are going to stay roughly the same.

weak field
#

like 23$ for a 3 pack

foggy hazel
#

no need for the prices to drop when there is this kind of demand for products

weak field
#

true

sharp tundra
vital warren
#

if you buy that you deserve jail time

sharp tundra
#

Lol

#

Its only like $4000 PC

#

Maybe more... lol

weak field
#

for got the 3090 ti super xc edition in sli mode

stoic island
#

I call it "no"

#

Screw Asus

sharp tundra
#

But ASUS is God 😇

stoic island
#

MSI > ASUS

weak field
#

boi

#

asus is the god of warm dog feces

sharp tundra
#

I tried to do an msi build on pcpp and they don't make enough stuff for me to do it

#

They have no ram, psu, and their cards cases look nice, but linda poppy for airflow

foggy hazel
#

and no need for that language @weak field

#

it is not as if there is a lack of distinct words in the english language

sharp tundra
#

CORSAIR >ROG >AORUS >MSI

#

Thats how the line up goes

sinful hornet
#

for what?

#

what is that ranking?

sharp tundra
#

Pc company ranks

#

Thats the line up

sinful hornet
#

hmmm dunno about corasir on top

#

is this price/performance or just performance

sharp tundra
#

Bro, corsair makes legit everything besides mobos

#

And it looks nice too

foggy hazel
#

amount of marketing money spent @sinful hornet

sinful hornet
#

soo... this is for how many products they make?

#

lmao

sharp tundra
#

No, corsair is better cause I say

foggy hazel
#

and as you can see, it worked at least on @sharp tundra

sinful hornet
#

i really like gigabyte products

weak field
#

corsair cpu?

sinful hornet
#

im not sure why, but they just have the absolute cleanest look to me

sharp tundra
#

You know what I meant

earnest ravine
#

because all the 1660 supers r over 300

next mulch
#

yawm

weak field
#

auegh

earnest ravine
#

?

sharp tundra
#

I will admit, MSI does make nice looking stuff, its just they don't make enough stuff, that's why they are low on my ranking

#

Also, the only case that fits the msi mobo i want has terrible airflow

sinful hornet
#

msi makes good mobos, thats about it to me

#

their gpus are overpriced to me

#

rog is mobos and gpus

#

corsair is just fans

#

if that

#

cases too i guess

sharp tundra
#

Huh?

sinful hornet
#

thats what each company is mainly good at in my opinion

sharp tundra
#

Corsair makes everything except mobos and gpus

sinful hornet
#

gigabyte is mobos graphics cards and psus

sharp tundra
#

And rog makes everything besides ssd and ram and fans,

sinful hornet
#

i said what they're best at

#

not what they make

sharp tundra
#

Oh

#

Ueah

#

Idk, corsair makes a pretty baller ram

sinful hornet
#

rgb do be garbo doe

#

vengeance low profile is good

#

dominator is good

#

not the rgb pro tho

sharp tundra
#

No no no, Vengeance RGB Pro

#

Ita good

sinful hornet
#

lights go out of sync very easily on that

sharp tundra
#

RGB makes pc go fast

sinful hornet
#

i'd much rather trident z

sharp tundra
#

Well yes

#

I agree

#

But corsair icue works better when you pair it with other ique products

#

You can't just slip in rgb pro and expect it to work with AuraSync

#

Perfectly that is

#

Let's be honest about something, Trident Z Royals are gross

sinful hornet
#

yes

#

no one likes royal

#

normal is nice tho

sharp tundra
#

Yes the Neos are about as far as ill go with them

#

But I like the rgb ones cause they're all black

frigid sage
#

Is it a good time to upgrade, my pc is 730a and intel i54750t

earnest ravine
#

good? its a 3080 build wit out a 3080

#

since its sold out

foggy hazel
#

and with the zen3 chip replaced with a zen2 chip

earnest ravine
#

?

foggy hazel
#

and yes, its still solid

earnest ravine
#

ok

weak field
#

i feel like we just saw that

#

just changed the gpu

earnest ravine
#

u did lol

#

i took out the 3080

#

bc its soldout

#

ima get it later

#

@weak field

weak field
#

theres one for sale

earnest ravine
#

where

weak field
#

my bad it just went out of stock

#

it was this one tho

restive vessel

My Pc Specs:

Ram: 16GB
System Type: 64-bit
Edition: Windows 10 pro

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z370-A
(Let me know if you need some more information)

I was wondering what part should I upgrade? ||I know its a semi-broad question, sorry!||
(Please mention me if you need me/if you need my attention) I dont mind

stoic island
#

is ok

#

@restive vessel for what workloads?

next mulch
#

gpu

vital warren
#

1050ti ahhh

stoic island
#

and what ram setup, 2x8gb 2666mhz?

#

or like 2x8gb 3200mhz

restive vessel
#

and what ram setup, 2x8gb 2666mhz?
@stoic island Hm, not quite sure. How could I check?

next mulch
#

8600k with a 1050ti ahhh

earnest ravine
#

it out of stock in my area 😦 @weak field

stoic island
#

Check task manager real quick

restive vessel
#

@next mulch @vital warren A friend has the same GPU but is getting more frames ||ik this isnt 100% from the gpu||, so not sure about that? (same settings)

#

@restive vessel for what workloads?
@stoic island School and sometimes gaming/streaming

weak field
#

||uh huh||

earnest ravine
#

||why are yoyu guys hiding ur text||

glacial cove
restive vessel
stoic island
#

@restive vessel prebuilt?

restive vessel
#

Custom

stoic island
#

What PSU?

restive vessel
#

About 2 years ago

stoic island
#

good

#

Don't want you to get like a 3070 and try to use it with a 400w proprietary PSU or smth like that lel

foggy hazel
#

@glacial cove please get a b550 mainboard instead

earnest ravine
foggy hazel
#

thank you @earnest ravine

earnest ravine
#

no prob

stoic island
#

Could go with a cheaper case than td500 mesh at this budget, maybe a mx330-g air

earnest ravine
#

true

restive vessel
#

@stoic island ||gonna sound a bit stupid|| but my dad helped me build the pc. I used his old case and PSU (from like 8 years ago). I can check what kind it is

glacial cove
#

Thanks @earnest ravine @foggy hazel

#

I’ll use the build you sent instead

earnest ravine
#

no prob

stoic island
#

Don't worry about what you type, spoilers aren't necessary >:)

earnest ravine
#

lol

stoic island
#

Open it up and tell us what you see, if you can't tell, take a pic, send in #build-pics , and @ me

foggy hazel
#

and for all we actually care, the holy cthulu could have built if for you. Your reasons are yours :)

restive vessel
#

Alright

#

@stoic island Titan 850 watts 🤔

stoic island
#

uh?

#

is the name of the unit "titan"?

restive vessel
#

Ah

#

"AzzA Titan 850w"

#

@stoic island posted a pic that I found on google of it in #build-pics

stoic island
#

eek

#

I wouldn't trust that for smth today lel

restive vessel
#

lol

#

Just dont want to upgrade something that wont make too much of a difference, ya know>?

#

Like when I play (for example) minecraft (on a server), i can get around 150 fps on low settings with everything else closed

stoic island
#

It's the 8 years ago comment plus the looks of the thing that's somewhat worrying me, oh well.

restive vessel
#

My friend lives close by. Tried matching the in game settings exactly and trying it out and hes getting better performance

stoic island
#

Eh, don't be too worried about game performance comparison with something like that

restive vessel
#

He also has an i7 while I have an i5

stoic island
#

there's too many factors for a normal person to, well, normalize

restive vessel
#

but I think an i5 is pretty good as well

stoic island
#

I'm thinking a GPU upgrade to start you off

restive vessel
#

So youre saying the psu is fine? 🤔

#

also, have any recommendations?

#

another server gave me these:

#

`2060 super

2060 ko gpu

1660 Super gpu`

#

But they might be "too good", as in like... if im upgrading, I dont need such a godly pc lol

stoic island
#

Uh...

#

You know, I would jump to a RTX 3070 as my suggestion lmao

restive vessel
#

ah, yes

#

but maybe the price could be a tiny bit lower lmfao

stoic island
#

ehh just a tiny bit

restive vessel
#

yep, just a dollar or two

stoic island
#

RTX2060 would make the most sense imo then

#

ko if it's in stock

restive vessel
#

serious answer?

stoic island
#

Yes

#

@restive vessel Really depends on the amount you're looking to spend on an upgrade though.

mystic needle
#

what’s the main difference between gsync and freesync

restive vessel
#

Hm, true

#

is there a "regular" 2060?

#

not ko

stoic island
#

@mystic needle One is for AMD cards, the other for Nvidia.
Freesync monitors are 99% of the time G-Sync compatible

#

@restive vessel There's a reason for the "2060 ko" suggestion

#

The 2060 ko is a special model of the RTX 2060 that gets a 'special' GPU die

#

Which can help in workstation tasks if you ever do those

mystic needle
#

so if im getting the radeon 6800 i should get freesync?

stoic island
#

Mhm, most monitors nowadays have freesync anyways

#

3080 in stock

restive vessel
#

would you also mind explaining overclocking?

#

I still dont fully understand it

#

Like, how does it work and if its capable of going that "high", why not just set it to that for default?

stoic island
#

@restive vessel Most important concept is that every single chip is different. Tiny microscopic, even atomic differences separate each chip and what each chip can do.

restive vessel
#

Hm

#

so would you recommend overclocking? (to a safe extent)

foggy hazel
#

imo? no

lyric thistle
#

@foggy hazel as I got the notification, I started passing out kekw

stoic island
lyric thistle
#

Oh hi Naed

How long do they stay in stock for?

little osprey

little osprey
terse tusk

little osprey

Yes

terse tusk
#

I don’t have enough headers for the fans I have

#

But he already got assisted

#

oh dope

#

Ye

#

Can u look over this

versed maple
little osprey
#

Huh

foggy hazel
#

@versed maple please dont waste money on the 212

little osprey
#

^^

#

trident ram is waste of money

#

@little osprey 9/10 iirc td500 stock config should run good enough
@little osprey I’m confused

#

well the rgb one

lyric thistle
#

Stock coolers are actually decent 🦀

little osprey
#

@little osprey I’m confused
@little osprey basically i don’t think u need that fan but go for it if u have the money, also make sure mobo had enough headers

#

For

versed maple
#

its cad dollar so its normal that is tio much money

#

y 2/10 ?

little osprey
#

Ram

#

And cooler

foggy hazel
#

@versed maple as it is right now, you are paying 40 cad for the RGB part of the ram.

versed maple
#

cooler idk what to pick

little osprey
#

No cooler

#

Use stcok

foggy hazel
#

and for the cooler, you dont have to pick anything. there is one supplied with the CPU

little osprey
#

Stock

versed maple
#

sure ?

#

it will be under 70 ?

little osprey
#

Huh

versed maple
#

70-75

little osprey
#

The cooler comes with cpu

foggy hazel
#

@versed maple which part are you talking about now?

versed maple
#

i know

lyric thistle
#

Just leave cooler blank

versed maple
#

the cooler

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey could you wait and let only one of us ask.

little osprey
#

stock cooler works fine

#

don’t waste money on poop cooler like 213

#

also rgb ram waste of money

#

@little osprey could you wait and let only one of us ask.
@foggy hazel confusion

versed maple
#

i know

foggy hazel
#

try and have a look at that

#

as it is, right there, it will work

little osprey
#

Get crucial balistik 3600 or g.skill ripjaw

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey read please.

little osprey
#

I don’t understand it

versed maple
#

people told me that the trident z neo rbg are much better or are optimized for amd

#

its true ?

foggy hazel
#

no

stoic island
#

Nah, just marketing

sinful hornet
#

I much better

versed maple
#

oh ok then

sinful hornet
#

Slightly

foggy hazel
#

@sinful hornet zip it please.

sinful hornet
#

Also, for a cheap rgb cooler check out that gammax got

#

*gammax got

stoic island
#

Any ram kits at 3600c16 will perform basically the same.

#

Doesn't matter what heatsink and what kind of marketing they slap on it

sinful hornet
#

Ffs gammax GT

stoic island
#

it's still ram running at 3600c16

versed maple
#

oh ok thx

little osprey
sinful hornet
#

Also, definitely meant to type not much better

versed maple
#

do you think i should wait for the amd gpu ?

little osprey
#

Any ram kits at 3600c16 will perform basically the same.
@stoic island b die is just simply built different 😎

foggy hazel
#

that is your choice @versed maple

versed maple
#

to have the rage mode

#

oh ok

little osprey
#

smart access memory

foggy hazel
#

that does not matter as much as people think it does @versed maple

little osprey
#

^

foggy hazel
#

same for SAM.

little osprey
#

smart access memory is dope tho

#

i like the idea

sinful hornet
#

Also, which one would you be getting?

little osprey
#

won’t matter much only a few percentages

stoic island
#

@little osprey built different won't matter if they run on XMP :D

little osprey
#

as shown by amds illustrations

sinful hornet
#

Because the only one which isn’t worth it I feel like is the 6800

foggy hazel
#

@versed maple try and see if you can get your hands on the cpu first and then go from there :)

stoic island
#

who cares if it can do 4000c14 if you're running it at xmp 3600c16 yaknow

little osprey
#

who cares if it can do 4000c14 if you're running it at xmp 3600c16 yaknow
@stoic island yos

versed maple
#

@foggy hazel yea true xD

foggy hazel
#

@versed maple the build you are doing, what is the actual budget on it?

versed maple
#

2300-2400$ CAD

#

in think i can sqeeze a 5800x

sinful hornet
#

Dayum nice budget

versed maple
#

but idk

foggy hazel
sinful hornet
#

I’m going for a 1600$ build end nov

foggy hazel
#

its a change to the SSD

#

use the rest of your budget for a new mouse or something

versed maple
#

i already have a mouse and im happy with it

foggy hazel
#

fair enough :)

#

but yeah, dont try and max your budget

#

what you have in that list is a very capable machine

versed maple
#

yea ik

little osprey
versed maple
#

do you think the 5600x beat the 3700x ? they are the same price

foggy hazel
#

yes

little osprey
#

defo

#

Yes

stoic island
#

Naed makes goodies

versed maple
#

oh ok on everything ?

little osprey
#

yepp

#

amazing build

versed maple
#

o nice

foggy hazel
#

as i said, its a capable machine @versed maple

#

now, you just need to actually find the CPU and GPU in stock somewhere

little osprey
#

More capable than this cause this is like 1.6k cad

sinful hornet
#

Canada computers lets you pre order back ordered cards, it’s what I’m doing to get my 3070

little osprey
#

dope

sinful hornet
#

I think I’m gonna get the eagle, still not decided tho

foggy hazel
#

any other questions @versed maple ?

versed maple
#

one last should i go on a 1tb ssd a cheap

stoic island
#

Specific model matters

#

something like a cheapo 80$ dramless gx2, nope

foggy hazel
#

please dont @versed maple

versed maple
#

o

little osprey
#

P1 is eh it’s usually for lower end builds

versed maple
#

i think i should go with a good 500gb ssd and later when im dont have stock i buy a 1tb ssd

stoic island
#

I mean, P1 is decent, and there is a decent gap between P1 and good 1tb SSDs

foggy hazel
little osprey
#

something like a cheapo 80$ dramless gx2, nope
@stoic island yikes gx2

stoic island
#

yea

#

it's a bit yikes

little osprey
#

@foggy hazel iirc sx8200g changed their controllers right ?

#

in like late june or sum

stoic island
#

sx8200 pro ye

#

but tbh from what I saw

#

it doesn't matter, still great drive.

foggy hazel
#

aye, its good enough

stoic island
#

Tom's hardware early samples left

#

STH recent samples right

little osprey
#

I just figured ur that my pc is 1.4K cad without phrepails

#

oh dope

#

Peripherals

#

speeds don’t differ much

versed maple
#

i think i should go with a good 500gb ssd and later when i dont have space ill buy a 1tb ssd ?

stoic island
#

and that's the 512gb

little osprey
#

maybe on the bigger capacities sure

stoic island
#

Tom's hardware early 2262EN left, redditor with 2262G on the right

foggy hazel
#

@versed maple think about it like this: You could just drop the 2tb hdd for now

little osprey
#

@stoic island do me quick favor can u dm me those sample shots and links to the benchmarks plsss

stoic island
#

I took the images from the article

little osprey
#

giving it a read now

#

thank uu

stoic island
#

:)

little osprey
#

hyped for sk hynix plat to come out

#

even tho i cant afford it

stoic island
#

lol

little osprey
#

those 128 layer nands have insane read and write speeds

raw mist
#

Guys quick question....if i use say a 250gb ssd and a 2tb hdd can i use the hdd to store the games and the ssd to boot the games that way i have lots of storage and a faster boot time?

stoic island
#

Yes, but also remember how much space things take

#

Usually recommended for 512gb ssd+ 2tb hdd, since the more fast-loading games, the better :D

foggy hazel
#

@raw mist i strongly recommend that you go with a 512 ssd IF you can in anyway fit it in your budget

little osprey
#

ssd to boot the games but hard drive to store the games ?

stoic island
#

oh wait

little osprey
#

am i reading that wrong

raw mist
#

wait so i store the games on the hdd and boot on the ssd? how would that work?

stoic island
#

maybe they talking about like ramcache..?

#

wa

raw mist
#

im new to this stuff sorry lol

little osprey
#

wait so i store the games on the hdd and boot on the ssd? how would that work?
@sinan.r27#1641 the games are booted from the drive they are installed/located on

raw mist
#

oh so if i store on the hdd im gonna have to deal with long loading times

little osprey
#

if you install a game on a hard drive it won’t boot from the ssd but from the hard drive itself

odd crypt
#

Hey

cursive magnet
#

Is PNY gpu junk?

little osprey
#

oh so if i store on the hdd im gonna have to deal with long loading times
@sinan.r27#1641 most games it won’t matter if u have an hdd or an ssd

raw mist
#

whats a good 512 gb or 1tb ssd then? budget around 80-90 CAD

sharp tundra
#

Bruh, the ROG Strix X570-e just got taken off amazone...😪

little osprey
odd crypt
#

Nope cause I'm on a budget

foggy hazel
#

@cursive magnet no.

odd crypt
#

I got another build

little osprey
#

whats a good 512 gb or 1tb ssd then? budget around 80-90 CAD
@sinan.r27#1641 don’t know much abt cad prices but some good budget boot drives could be mx500 and vulcan 2.5 satas

#

for secondary storage seagate barracuda 2tb has great value at 7200rpm

raw mist
#

ok then

#

what would i even store on secondary storage tho?

#

@little osprey

stoic island
#

Less used games.

raw mist
#

and m.2 ssds are priced similar and way faster? so why go for sata?

stoic island
#

We don't go for sata whenever possible

raw mist
#

this is my build

#

reccomendations?

little osprey
#

and m.2 ssds are priced similar and way faster? so why go for sata?
@sinan.r27#1641 if u want nvme m.2 P1 is a good budget option i suppose

raw mist
#

what about the sn750 i have rn

little osprey
#

that’s enough

cloud oasis
#

honestly IMO

little osprey
#

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DDqCz7
@sinan.r27#1641 i would change ram and case. case has poor airflow and lpx doesn’t scale well with ryzen. for case options p360a/p400a/td500 mesh or nr600 will work and for ram try to find a ripjaws 3600 cas 16 kit for not too much price disparity

cloud oasis
#

i dont see the point of getting a sn750

#

Mp34 is good enough

little osprey
#

true it’s usually for higher end systems

foggy hazel
#

@cloud oasis read and see the prices

little osprey
#

sn750 is only a bit more than mp34 iirc

stoic island
#

specifically, look at the currency

cloud oasis
#

Yikes

#

the prices are so scuffed

#

Inflation

foggy hazel
#

no, its just currency

raw mist
#

mp34 is 20 dollars more in canada

#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

ah the sn750 is fine

raw mist
#

yeah

#

also a lot of ppl use the lpx on ryzen 3600 and its supposed to be great

#

its just that the gskill is a bit more

#

money*

#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

check ripjaws 3600 cas 16

#

if u can fit that in ur budget then go for it. iirc ripjaws 3200 cas 16 should be around same price as lpx

raw mist
#

oh my bad i forgot to update the ram on the build

#

it was the corsiar 3200mhz CL16

#

ok ill look

remote junco
stoic island
#

Eek that price, but as long as it has am4 mounting brackets, it should be compatible.

stone pine
#

^

weak field
#

backplate?

#

if its am4

#

its good

#

wait no

#

dimensions

remote junco
#

i like to pick up from store.. so i dont mind paying a bit more. And thats good to know thank you!

weak field
#

i think all am4 r the same

#

i think corsair sells them for like 99

#

might not be rgb

#

but you can change the fans

sharp tundra
#

Eek that price, but as long as it has am4 mounting brackets, it should be compatible.
@stoic island all of corsairs aio are cross compatible

stoic island
#

...?

#

I was speaking in general

sharp tundra
#

They all come with the necessary hardware to mount to the different sockets

#

Both of amds and intel

foggy hazel
#

no, they dont "all" come with that

If I send my list can I get opinions? Its my first build lmao

foggy hazel
#

plenty of AIO's that have been silly

sharp tundra
#

I'm talking about Corsair

winged pike
foggy hazel
#

yes, which is NOT what @stoic island was talking about.

stoic island
#

Holy

#

What's that list

foggy hazel
#

as he said himself, it was general :)

stoic island
#

760usd for a 2070 super

remote junco
#

Well i should be good then. Thanks for the help guys much appreciated.

stoic island
#

Mhm fair enough

weak field
#

forget 100$ for windows

#

pirate it

sharp tundra
#

He said make sure it comes with the Am4 mounting hardware

weak field
#

like linus

#

be like linus

stoic island
#

I was saying "as long as a cooler comes with am4 mounting, it fits b550 tomahawk"

#

Meant to at least.

#

Anyways no reason to talk about that again now

foggy hazel
#

@weak field not what linus does. It might look like that, but i guarantee you, he has enough licenses to cover all use

winged pike
#

The 2070 is specifically something I

#

want like opinions or suggestions on lmaoo

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, I said all corsair aios come with mounting harware for all sockets

stoic island
#

Misunderstandings were had

sharp tundra
#

Indeed

weak field
#

or nust leave the watermark

#

just

cursive wharf
#

@foggy hazel iirc he stopped activating them cuz it was annoying to transfer activation all the time. They had to contact MS a lot apparently and it was basically too much of a waste of time

stone pine
#

I got H100i platinum SE

#

Came with all brackets

stoic island
#

Hey, it's the thought that he's got a license that counts :p

foggy hazel
#

aye, i know @cursive wharf

raw mist
stone pine
#

Any tips on routing aio cables?

weak field
#

just didnt wanna keep buying new ones

#

i wouldnt route a aio cabke unless its blocking something or kinking it

foggy hazel
#

ive dealt with things like that for decades now. Please trust me, there is a stack of licenses "somewhere" that covers all the installs

weak field
#

i like the danginling

sharp tundra
#

Any tips on routing aio cables?
@stone pine however you please, just make sure the logo is facing right side up

stone pine
#

I know, I'm just not sure how to route them cleanly

#

I got a hunk of cables running from the waterblock into a cable grommet at the top of the case

sharp tundra
#

Have them go through the same hole as your mobo power

stone pine
#

Route them between DIMM slots?

sharp tundra
#

No

delicate bobcat
#

I've entered all of the PC giveaways I can find, hopefully it works

sharp tundra
#

You know where your mobi power cable is connected right?

stone pine
#

Yes

sharp tundra
#

Not the 24 pin, the 8 pin

stone pine
#

Are you talking about the CPU power?

#

At the top left

sharp tundra
#

Yes

stone pine
#

Oooh ok

#

That might work, yes

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, route it through the mobo as nicely as you can to up there, and fit them through the same hole as the mobo power

stone pine
#

I completely missed that spot. Everything else is so nice xD

#

Except gpu power

#

I need to get cable extensions

weak field
#

just dont use cords on the aio

sharp tundra
#

Yeah those are hard to manage, just whatever you do, don't route them above the gpu, makes it look ugly

weak field
#

snip snip

sharp tundra
#

It doesn't help with gpu sag nearly as much as some think it does

weak field
#

gpu sag? just dont use a gpu

#

forget that

sharp tundra
#

Lol

stone pine
cursive wharf
#

cant have GPU sag if you dont have a PC

stone pine
#

That's what it looks like now

weak field
#

pc overheating? just dont use a pc

stone pine
#

^

stoic island
#

Can't have GPU sag when the GPU is upside down vertical mounted

weak field
#

your poor pc

sharp tundra
#

Try and flatten out those cables some

weak field
#

please dustvac it

#

no wait

stone pine
#

Can't have GPU sag if you don't have a GPU- This was made by Integrated Graphics Gang

weak field
#

just the glass

#

thought that was dust on the gpu

stone pine
#

lmao

#

I built it a few weeks ago

#

Still using a 1060 3Gb

little osprey
#

Ive got bad news

#

My ssd killed itself and all the files are gone

sharp tundra
#

Rip

stone pine
#

Damn

#

Feels bad mate

little osprey
#

The ssd works thou

weak field
#

perfect time for a linus tech tip ad

stoic island
#

I wonder if hard drive recovery people do ssd recovery

stone pine
#

Most likely

weak field
#

this js a perfect segway

stone pine
#

Or you can use a recovery tool

#

Might work

stoic island
#

Mostly because it's different tech

stone pine
#

Yes

little osprey
#

I tried

stoic island
#

I mean like physical recovery

sharp tundra
#

Well, ones a disk, ones a chip

remote junco
#

Is AMD 3600xt and a Radeon RX 5600 xt a good pair? ThinkingEgg

weak field
#

like ********

little osprey
#

Didn't work

stone pine
#

Yes

#

But go for 5700 xt if any

#

Or wait for 6000 series to drop

#

Cheaper and WAY better

remote junco
#

hmm

little osprey
#

@stone pine genuinely thought the entire drive died and I contacted the ssd company because its under warranty and they sent me one for free

#

But uh guess I have two 512 GB ssd

stone pine
#

One is broken though?

little osprey
#

No, the files were just corrupted

stone pine
#

Oh ok

#

Nice

weak field
#

it commited die

sharp tundra
#

It decided to be liven't

little osprey
#

Got two ssd at the end

stone pine
#

Pog

little osprey
#

One free one

sharp tundra
#

What brand was it

little osprey
#

Teamgroup

sharp tundra
#

Oh

stone pine
#

I got a WD Blue SN500

#

Very good, cheap SSD

little osprey
#

I wanna get an m.2 soon

sharp tundra
#

I got a samsung 970 evo

stone pine
#

M.2 is game changer

#

I was using HDD until a few weeks ago when I built my new rig

sharp tundra
#

It'll be my first time with one

stone pine
#

Never going back

sharp tundra
#

I've played on slow as consile hdds my whole life

stone pine
#

YIKES

sharp tundra
#

Yeah...

little osprey
#

I have to reinstall so many things

#

Like my Systematic endpoint protection

sharp tundra
#

Do we have any NVMe +HDD users in here?

stone pine
#

Yes

stoic island
#

Yes

sharp tundra
#

I have question

stone pine
#

k

stoic island
#

I have a MP510 960gb+Barracuda 2tb rn.

little osprey
#

I may or may not have gotten it for free by mistake

sharp tundra
#

If I was to do that combo and have my ssd for my frequent stuff, and my had for my not so frequent stuff, could I easily swap the files between drives?

stone pine
#

Yes

#

Just copy and paste

stoic island
#

Mhm

sharp tundra
#

Okay good

stoic island
#

200mb/s, while limited by the HDD, still isn't bad

#

Smth like it

sharp tundra
#

I won't load stuff off my hdd, I just want it for pure storage, all my actively used stuff I will load off my nvme m.2

stone pine
#

Yeah

sharp tundra
#

Or what if I was to do NVMe M.2 + Satan SSD

idle hawk
#

question

stone pine
#

Shoot

sharp tundra
#

That maybe be faster

stone pine
#

That works

#

HDD is cheaper

idle hawk
#

besides hwmonitor is there any software that monitors psu draw

sharp tundra
#

Yeah it is

#

Just get a program that displays it in a corner or something

stoic island
#

@idle hawk nothing can do psu draw accurately other than measuring at the wall

stone pine
#

^

idle hawk
#

i have a cyberpower ups that shows the draw from the outlet

#

their software does

#

but i thought theres was an independent software maybe

#

roger that then

sharp tundra
#

Prpvably if you look

idle hawk
#

asking for a friend

#

i gave my friend a 1080ti and its suddenly freezing on r6 siege

sharp tundra
#

I wish people would give me a whole a$$ gpu

idle hawk
#

well a 400$ desk in trade and 260$ later

#

but yea gave me lol

neon condor
#

I'm gonna say hi and then leave this is Naed's chat.

sharp tundra
#

Hi

idle hawk
#

hello infamous bryce

#

how is this naeds chat

#

i thought this was open to all

#

unless each techie has a specific channel assigned

sharp tundra
#

Anyone wanna sell me a 3080 for $Free.99? I have money in hand.

#

Lol

idle hawk
#

5 finger slap in the face ill give you lmaaaaooo jk

#

leave my big chungus alone

sharp tundra
#

-_-

idle hawk
#

shes thicc

#

im joking bro

sharp tundra
#

I know lol

#

Bro, 3090 is HUGE

#

Like, almost as big as my forehead but not quite

#

Lol jk

#

You need 2 of them for that

remote junco
#

3090 is big pp energy

idle hawk
#

3080 is thicc tho

sharp tundra
#

3090 + m-itx board

#

You know you're compensating for something when you do that

balmy patio
#

a 3090 gives the same vibe as when you wake up at 10am on a saturday morning and realize that you have nothing else to do and that the whole day's free to do anything

next kestrel
#

SFF builds with 3090 are pretty cool

sharp tundra
#

There's nothing small about a 3090 tho

sleek lotus
#

I can never truly enjoy those days, cause I always feel like I got something to do

next mulch
#

nah fam we need a 3090 microwave i69 696969420 build

sleek lotus
#

Also, I am new here. So hi.

idle hawk
#

being unemployed since April\ gave me free time

#

welcome mythic

still roostBOT
#
['RL'] Mythic Storm#3882 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

sharp tundra
#

You're unemployed and have a 3080?

#

Bruh

idle hawk
#

yep

balmy patio
sharp tundra
#

I work and barely afford a 5600xt

idle hawk
#

well ive been saving monies

sharp tundra
#

I guess that helps

sleek lotus
#

Thought it would take a little longer for me to get a warning\

idle hawk
#

and for at least 4 to 5 months my rent was 78$ everything including

remote junco
#

sounds nice

sharp tundra
#

😶

sleek lotus
#

Anyway, congrats on the 5600xt. And smart move on saving

idle hawk
#

im satified with my big chungus ( rtx 3080)

sharp tundra
#

I mean, its only competing witha 2060, so its nothing too special

idle hawk
#

i cant wait for more stable drivers tho

sleek lotus
#

I just got a 1660 Super on sale, just so I have a computer for college, and I don't get buyers remorse when the 30 series launched.

idle hawk
#

nomad you have an amd chipset no?

sharp tundra
#

Yes?

idle hawk
#

yea that was the better apporach with the 5600xt

sharp tundra
#

I can't say I understood they way you asked that

idle hawk
#

i forget the whole 5600xt situation and ALOT of ppl have been having issues with the 5600xt i couldnt care to count lol

sharp tundra
#

I think that's fixed now

idle hawk
#

i hope

#

im not entirely sure

#

i want everyones system to work

sharp tundra
#

Well If its broken, I'm sending it back.

#

And ill have them send me a 3080 replacement 😁

#

Lol jk

idle hawk
#

im scared to touch any overclock settings on the 3080

#

cause of inventory being so rough

sharp tundra
#

Yeah I would be

#

Spiked power draw

idle hawk
#

i have a 1300w psu

#

i have headroom

sharp tundra
#

Oh nvm then

remote junco
#

how much do you recommend the 5600xt i am thinking about getting it

sharp tundra
#

I heard from a lot of people here that it's really good for its price

remote junco
#

pretty much the same bench marks as 2060 for 200 less

idle hawk
#

in reality 2060 is almost the same as a 1070

#

open for debate

sharp tundra
#

Where can I buy pc stickers like corsair, rog, amd, etc

sleek lotus
#

I can't debate. I have only ever held a single GPU in my life.

idle hawk
#

oof

remote junco
#

go to a custom sticker company and upload your own pictures and they will make them into stickers

sharp tundra
#

Same

idle hawk
#

well i have 2 laptops

sharp tundra
#

My roommates

remote junco
#

i cant debate either but can u explain

idle hawk
#

one has a 2060 and the other has a 1070

sharp tundra
#

My gpu will be the second once it arrives

sleek lotus
#

And that GPU is my 1660 Super that I have. lol

idle hawk
#

i did havens arena benchmark and they marked the same

#

same fps

#

and a userbenchmark test and theyre both neck and neck

sleek lotus
#

When a graphic card has OC in it's name, does it mean it is already overclocked?

balmy patio
#

yep

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, but its kinda scam

stoic island
#

just slightly most of the time, like a 50mhz difference, not enough to matter significantly.

sharp tundra
#

Cause you can OC it at home

sleek lotus
#

Ah ok. Wasn't to sure. I only got it cause it was the cheapest 1660 Super at the time. Don't really care much for Overclocking at the moment

idle hawk
#

is that relative to the 3000s series compared to the FE @stoic island

stoic island
#

hm?

#

I'm talking in general

#

it's almost always just a tiny bump

sharp tundra
#

Whats the limit for OC? Like whats stopping me from boosting my CPUs frequency to 17Ghz?

idle hawk
#

ive been researching and apparently the the aib cards have a higher base clocked and extremely higher memory bandwidth

sharp tundra
#

Besides heat

sleek lotus
#

PC being unstable, I believe

stoic island
#

@idle hawk extremely higher memory bandwidth is a no

idle hawk
sleek lotus
#

Or am I thinking of RAM?

stoic island
#

the hell is that website

#

lemme just

idle hawk
#

the arous is my card

#

thats the only reason why im asking

sharp tundra
#

6800xt is gonna be better lol

stoic island
#

@idle hawk I'm gonna start off by using a more... reputable at the least site

idle hawk
#

im always open to compare notes lol

stoic island
#

Here's the thing

#

I've heard a lot of bad about the versus site

idle hawk
#

im not saying im right

stoic island
idle hawk
#

im curious lol

stoic island
#

so I'd rather not use a site I've only heard bad about lel

idle hawk
#

thats fair

#

consider this fact checking lol

stoic island
#

But as you can see

#

Same memory bus and same memory chips

#

(ofc)

next mulch
#

is my build

stoic island
#

I have no idea where versus.com got their "much higher memory bandwidth" or whatever from

#

because all 3080s would use G6x on a 320bit bus

idle hawk
#

fair enough

stoic island
#

even K|NP|N won't have more, maybe cherrypicked modules, but no more than that.

idle hawk
#

but all things considered aorus is slightly edges out the FE

stoic island
#

Oh it doesn't slightly on the GPU standpoint

#

but pure listed spec wise it outdoes the FE by a bit

#

but also remember that hefty heatsink

sleek lotus
#

I still have a lot to learn. I don't even know what RDNA means. Don't worry, I'll figure it out.

idle hawk
#

i think theyre both fairly hefty

stoic island
#

RDNA doesn't matter what it stands for

#

all you gotta know is it's AMD's GPU architecture

#

RDNA2 is the new one

sharp tundra
#

So whats a big navi?

stoic island
#

Code name

sharp tundra
#

For?

stoic island
#

the RDNA2 chips

sharp tundra
#

Oh

stoic island
#

it's like Intel with like Ice lake

idle hawk
#

big navi is basically rdna2 in a nutshell

stoic island
#

rocket lake

#

etc

sharp tundra
#

So is the RX 6800xt the same as the Big Navi?

idle hawk
#

that idk

stoic island
#

it is big navi afaik

idle hawk
#

hm

#

wait a sec

sleek lotus
#

AH ok. Just saying, cause I couldn't understand what was going on, cause I am still a newbie. I just get something, because it works, and I am not being ripped off. lol

idle hawk
#

which gpu is the xbox series x and ps5 shipping with ik its big navi

#

but which gpu specifically

sharp tundra
#

I'm just confused cause rog strix has 2 of them then, the one named rx 6800 xt, and the big navi, the big navi comes as an aio

#

Is big navi OC from factory?

stone pine
#

Big Navi is the 6900 XT

idle hawk
#

just the 6900xt

stone pine
#

Yes, that is what it is labelled

#

The other 6000 series cards are called 6000 series cards

weak field
#

looks nice

stone pine
#

6900 xt is called Big Navi because it is the best card in the series

weak field
#

world

idle hawk
#

i wanted the strix 3080 😭

sharp tundra
#

These are just an example but you see what I mean though? If its the same card, then why are they treating it as 2 separate cards?

weak field
#

its like the 3090 ti super xc oc edition in sli

idle hawk
#

arent reviewers having issues with sli

stoic island
#

I'm pretty sure it works like Intel, Big Navi = RDNA2 as the architecture

#

Like how Ice lake = whatever cove they're on

sharp tundra
#

I don't think the 30 series was designed for sli, cause you'd only ever need 1 card anyways

idle hawk
#

only the 3090s can sli

stoic island
#

Wdym everyone needs 50gb of g6x vram

idle hawk
#

wait whaa

#

everyone also needs 3000w psu's aswell lol

stoic island
#

I wonder what PSUs GN will use for #ripjay once they get to LN2

#

Right now they're doing 2 1200w units I think

#

For 3090 sli OCing

idle hawk
#

if im not mistaken jayz2cents is using a 1300 or 1600w psu

sharp tundra
#

Probably 1600

#

Makes the most sense

stoic island
#

It's kinda funny how Jay got the unlocked bios and GN just said nah, shunt mod time

idle hawk
#

but everyone calls me crazy when i recommend a higher psu for the 3080 lolol

sharp tundra
#

Its only until just recently where 1000w psus actually had a purpose

stoic island
#

You are crazy >:D

idle hawk
#

thank you

#

i appreciate the compliment

stoic island
#

Mhm

idle hawk
#

:3

#

mama raised a psychopath but no fool

stoic island
#

But don't forget they're doing sli 3090 OCing with I think 10900k/10700k, with plans for ln2 ofc

idle hawk
#

im thinking theyll switch to amd

#

cause of the new chips

stoic island
#

Pretty sure they kinda paused the contest to get through the review cycle

idle hawk
#

prolly

stoic island
#

GN might also retest 3080/3090 on pcie 4.0 with new chips

sharp tundra
#

I might take out a $10k bank loan so I can build the most bada$$ gaming pc setup ever

#

I'm addicted and I haven't even started

idle hawk
#

im just curious of the nuclear reactors theyre creating with these builds lol

stoic island
#

I'm addicted but I haven't bought much yet

#

@sharp tundra keep wasting time making lists and you'll be fine

sharp tundra
#

Is that what you do?

#

Lol

idle hawk
#

lolol im satisfied with my build

sharp tundra
#

I've only made like 3 list

idle hawk
#

no need to upgrade to 10th gen

stoic island
#

Maybe

sharp tundra
#

Eww you're an intel user

#

Gtfo

idle hawk
#

lolol

idle hawk
#

ok mr.5600xt user lolol

sharp tundra
#

AMD IS LYFE

idle hawk
#

and that life is full of driver errors

sharp tundra
#

You're full of driver errors

stoic island
#

Not really smh

idle hawk
#

nahh registry errors

stoic island
#

Amd fixed most of their driver issues

#

Not as bad as it was launch day

idle hawk
#

well in a span of 3 days 3 5600xt users are having frequent driver issues

stoic island
#

Hm?

idle hawk
#

random crashes and freezes

#

check out the graphics card channel

stoic island
#

I see only one guy..?

idle hawk
#

keep digging lol

stoic island
#

Smh why should I

idle hawk
#

cause its there

#

u dont have to lol

stoic island
#

I've dug til augest

#

Like

#

How much further

idle hawk
#

i said 3 days not 3 months lmaoo

sharp tundra
#

Release date probably

#

Lol

stoic island
#

Bro

sharp tundra
#

I just hope I don't have issues with mine

stoic island
#

You told me to dig deeper

#

Smh

idle hawk
#

dig into the deep state of ur mind

stoic island
#

I still only see the single guy

#

Also consider how many people have it work, and not come here for help

#

:p

idle hawk
#

thats fair \

#

but legit tried helping metro and 2 others

#

ddu

#

and older driver

stoic island
#

I've seen way more DDUs needed for Nvidia cards than AMD cards, but eh

#

End of the day

idle hawk
#

im happy to help anyone that asks

stoic island
#

They're not bad now

idle hawk
#

well yea i rolled back to an older driver

#

but again newest card on the market

stoic island
#

Smh

#

Remember random 3080 crashes

#

:p

idle hawk
#

yes that was cause of the iic chip or something causing noise

weak field
#

that was so 3 days ago

idle hawk
#

however

stoic island
#

Nah

#

Drivers

foggy hazel
#

that was 100% a driver eff up from nvidia @idle hawk

stoic island
#

Not physical hardware mishap

#

It was drivers

#

Causing random crashes

foggy hazel
#

they pushed their chips too hard software wise

sharp tundra
#

I'm so anxious for my gpu and mr.beast Hoodia to arrive in the mail

#

Like hurry tf up already

idle hawk
#

naed question

#

why did bryce pop in only to say hello and then popped out saying this is ur channel

stoic island
#

This is Naed's domain afterall :p

foggy hazel
#

ask Bryce about that

idle hawk
#

i am confusion

foggy hazel
#

i specifically try to not read minds.

#

so you will have to ask him

sharp tundra
#

Naed, read my mind

idle hawk
#

ok so that left me with more questions then answers lol

sharp tundra
#

I give consent

stoic island
#

I read Naed's mind, he'll say no.

sharp tundra
#

Bs

stoic island
#

You're thinking about bananas

idle hawk
stoic island
#

That was their early guess at the issue

idle hawk
#

ahh ok

stoic island
#

But cards with worse caps didn't crash

#

While somehow cards with better caps crashed

idle hawk
stoic island
#

Later it was just a drivers thing

idle hawk
#

fair enough

foggy hazel
#

and it "magically" disappeared with a driver update

idle hawk
#

magically brought down the clocks lolol

#

i agree

#

it makes sense

foggy hazel
#

@sharp tundra so far, i have not seen anything i need to repeat out loud. But keep on polishing those cogs, you will get there eventually :)

idle hawk
#

but what were theyre trying to do with a driver like that in the market with these very hard to get cards

sharp tundra
#

Lol, text is quiet tho

stoic island
#

Main hypothesis is because of Nvidia tryna keep stuff confidential before launch.

#

And not giving AIB partners time to develop drivers

foggy hazel
#

they tried to get their cards to appear a tiny bit faster

idle hawk
#

kinda backfired huh

stoic island
#

Mhm, pushed it too far without testing it enough.

foggy hazel
#

no

#

not really

#

99.999% of the people that want one of the 30xx cards will not care one bit about it

#

should you really care about it? no

#

should you remember it? yes

idle hawk
#

i mean if its randomly crashing when you buy a new card id be concern

#

im acknowledging it yes

#

caring not so much

#

im here for knowledge sake thats why we are discussing it

#

well at this point

foggy hazel
#

hence why i said what i did

idle hawk
#

but i cant run the newest game ready driver atm

#

not without losing rgb fusing compatibility

foggy hazel
#

remember that the next time people say that nvidia drivers are "perfect"

idle hawk
#

well the drivers work fine

sharp tundra
#

AMD drivers are perfect

idle hawk
#

the card doesnt pop up if i update it, in gigabytes software

sharp tundra
#

Jk, I wouldn't know

foggy hazel
#

all drivers are bad

#

all drivers are good

idle hawk
#
