I'm building a new PC and dropping a Ryzen 5950x and a 6900XT as well, I'm having trouble deciding on a motherboard though, any help?

small osprey
#

Do you need wifi!

uncut pelican
#

I have the msi mpg b550 gaming plus, good board u just need to buy a separate wifi card

opaque vector
#

I do need Wifi I was debating on getting a wifi card vs in board.

wintry gust
#

Ya the wifi one is on sale atm

uncut pelican
#

I suggest a wifi card board with wifi are usually trash

#

Or rly expensive

opaque vector
#

Alright, Thanks for the help, I'll do a little more research on wifi cards and come back later.

#

I was also concerned about the General Purpose lanes in a B550 being Gen 3 vs the Gen 4 found in the x570 as well as the CPU Chipset Uplink being Gen 3 in B550 vs Gen 4 in X570.

rustic sandal
#

I have the X570 aorus elite WiFi but don’t use the WiFi

wintry gust
#

ok so the only difference is the wifi bit seems like the same board through compare hrmm

opaque vector
#

I'm also debating getting a 2060 or cheap RTX card for RTX voice and taking advantage of Nvidia software.

wintry gust
#

go nvidia

ebon matrix
#

@little osprey how much will 3060 be?

stoic island
#

2060 is a cheap rtx cadd

wintry gust
#

raedon for me dies within a month I had 2 cards 1 died in 3 months, and another died in a month... I will never go raedon gpu's anymore my nvidia's are beasts

#

I had an 980 ti last... YEARS...

ebon matrix
#

what card should i get bc ima just play MC and rocket league

wintry gust
#

you only want to play Mine craft and rocket league??

ebon matrix
#

yes mostly

wintry gust
#

you can pretty much buy any... card for that..

#

you don't even need 6 gig card for that

wintry gust
#

it depends if you want a better card to play something else.

#

that is plenty good

ebon matrix
#

ok

wintry gust
#

1660's will play any game out there atm

unborn zealot
#

I’m trying to build a computer for about 550 area

#

Any pc part picker list I could look at 🤔

stoic island
#

Maybe

versed rock
#

What are you trying to do with said 550 dollar PC?

unborn zealot
#

Umm I play Minecraft and I have fps drops on my current laptop and I’m a pvper so it’s very unfortunate and I play R6

#

So just something that can handle gaming at playable settings

versed rock
#

Used Dell Optiplex + GTX 1650 Super + PSU Upgrade

unborn zealot
#

Hmm

#

Oh yeah I also do GFX

#

Also where do you find a optiplex

grim tide
opaque vector
#

@wintry gust I was gonna go with a 6900XT to try and take advantage of the Smart Access Memory and a cheap Nvidia Card with RT Cores to run anything else in the background (RTX Voice, etc.)

versed rock
#

You look at ebay Sxhools

#

Squadron, please don't use any weird dumb dual GPU setup like that.

#

It's way more headache than it's worth.

unborn zealot
#

Does that work I threw it together

versed rock
#

Big nope

#

Beeg nope

unborn zealot
#

Parts are not good?

little osprey
#

lol evga bq

#

lol lpx ram

versed rock
#

You are buying a 2 generation old Ryzen chip, a meh-tier motherboard, a crap SSD, and probably the worst PSU I could ever think of.

little osprey
#

just go intel bru

#

intel on top in low end price/perf

unborn zealot
#

Well no body will help me make a list

#

I already have my case

versed rock
#

Again. Dell Optiplex from Ebay, a 1650S + PSU upgrade

little osprey
#

is ur budget 600

#

Again. Dell Optiplex from Ebay, a 1650S + PSU upgrade
@versed rock ^

versed rock
#

That's the absolute best bang for your buck

grim tide
unborn zealot
#

Fine fine

versed rock
#

Try to get a full-size Optiplex with 16GB of RAM and at least a 6th Gen Core i series CPU

#

🤮 Intel

#

And that SSD ain't great.

ebon matrix
#

help me find the worst card i

grim tide
#

budget wise

little osprey

@versed rock agreed

versed rock
#

Reeee

#

Stop face pinging me. I am right here!

balmy patio
#

no

versed rock
#

I wouldn't use it with a 3600

#

I'd go at minimum a 5600XT

balmy patio
#

the 1650s outperforms it iirc

#

^^

versed rock
#

Not by much. And the extra VRAM can be useful.

ebon matrix
#

can u link m one @versed rock

versed rock
#

I swear to god... I have asked nicely to stop pinging me. Can you PLEASE RESPECT THAT?!?

uncut pelican
#

Lmao

#

I feel bad for you bro

#

Imagine getting pinged

tiny forge
#

Some people.

uncut pelican
#

Ikr

balmy patio
#

bruh this be @versed rock rn

uncut pelican
#

Did u just. . .

viral ore
#

lmao

#

rip

versed rock
#

Alright, who is getting stabbed? Because I have had it.

balmy patio
#

me

uncut pelican
#

Oh no

versed rock
#

🔪

uncut pelican
#

Nice knife

tiny forge
#

Skiptrace if it helps, youre able to turn off ping notifications in a specific channel, server, or overall.

idle compass
#

Can I just put a gpu in a dell oplitext and game on it

#

Could I run CSGo

uncut pelican
#

I mean. .

versed rock
#

I don't want to turn them off entirely, I just want people to not ping me when i'm right forking here.

balmy patio
#

i mean gaming doesn't have to be expensive

#

at that point jus buy a console

tiny forge
#

I see.

versed rock
#

You can slap a GPU in a full-size Dell Optiplex and it'll game fairly well depending on which CPU it has, and how much RAM it has.

balmy patio
#

and you can also put compatible ram in

idle compass
#

You think I could run at least 50 fps with everything on lowest settings in csgo

balmy patio
#

so there's room for upgrades but not many

versed rock
#

Yeah, but some Optiplexes are old enough to need DDR3, which is getting rarer.

uncut pelican
#

It depends on what you want from a pc

balmy patio
#

honestly @idle compass jus get a xbox for like 300 bucks if you only plan on gaming

versed rock
#

No.

balmy patio
#

why not?

versed rock
#

A Gaming PC is far better than an Xbox at 300 bucks.

balmy patio
#

how so?

versed rock
#

Because A. You don't have to pay for Xbox Live Gold every month. B. There's a vast library of completely free to play games on PC. C. It can be used for more purposes than just gaming.

wintry gust
#

did I get pinged?

balmy patio
#

ahhhh makes sense

unborn zealot
#

@versed rock I found a ping for you it’s 30ms

versed rock
#

🤦

unborn zealot
#

😂😭

uncut pelican
#

Oh no

versed rock
#

I really wish I was an administrator right now.

unborn zealot
#

0k I will stop now

versed rock
#

Because i'd be torching people left and right.

idle compass
#

I have a Xbox one s where can I sell it inperson so I have more money to build a pc

balmy patio
#

nice

uncut pelican
#

Bruh its so simple dont ping them lmao

balmy patio
#

more money gives you more options

viral ore
#

5600xt good card

versed rock
#

I mean, it's the minimum i'd buy to pair with a 3600.

balmy patio
#

i mean you could also pair it nicely with a 1660s

versed rock
#

Yeah, but then you are giving money to Nvidia.

balmy patio
#

bruh

#

that doesn't matter

versed rock
#

I mean, it does.

idle compass
#

What the best gpu for ryzen 9 3950x

balmy patio
#

uhhh

versed rock
#

Nvidia's projects are all closed source, and they don't play ball with most FOSS projects.

#

I mean, realistically? I wouldn't buy a 3950X

#

It's not a Gaming CPU. It's a low-tier Workstation CPU.

balmy patio
#

unless you actually need the 16 cores

versed rock
#

🤦

#

What are you doing with this PC Cinliss?

idle compass
#

Oh ok

balmy patio
#

1660s<5600xt<2060

idle compass
#

Whats the best cpu for a 2k budget then

viral ore
#

3950x is NOT a low teir workstation cpu

idle compass
#

For gaming

versed rock
#

Yeah it is.

viral ore
#

2700x is a low teir workstation cpu

ebon matrix
#

play MC and rocket league thats basically it

versed rock
#

No, that's a dumpster tier workstation CPU

viral ore
#

3950x is mid teir

#

2700x is an amazing cpu

versed rock
#

Mid-Tier is the cheapest Threadripper 3rd gen

viral ore
#

remember that the term workstation is extremely generalized

versed rock
#

Give me a moment Bill to make an entire build for 2000 USD

#

Do you explicitly need Wi-Fi?

idle compass
#

Yes

balmy patio
#

bruh at 2k i'd get a 3080 and 5900x

versed rock
#

Why?

#

Joe, that's a terrible idea...

ebon matrix
#

cuz he bill

versed rock
#

Like, really bad.

balmy patio
#

oh wait

versed rock
#

Just let me work my magic.

balmy patio
#

ogei

versed rock
#

Bill, why do you NEED Wi-Fi?

ebon matrix
#

cuz he likes

versed rock
#

Because there's other ways of getting internet to your PC.

idle compass
#

My pc will be upstair

#

And my router

#

Is down

balmy patio
#

bruh jus do it with wifi smh

versed rock
#

Ok... Just get a Powerline Adaptor.

ebon matrix
#

in basement?

versed rock
#

Powerline Adaptors are GOAT

idle compass
#

No lol in the first story

balmy patio
#

i mean what's the big difference in between wired and wireless if the router is decent

versed rock
#

A lot

balmy patio
#

which is

versed rock
#

Wi-Fi is Half-Duplex Wired is Full-Duplex. And Wi-Fi Latency is really high compared to Wired.

balmy patio
#

but for the general use and general gaming, does it really matter?

versed rock
#

Yes.

#

Wi-Fi sucks for gaming.

idle compass
#

Yeah I have one of those ports in my house I thought is a wall ethernet port but none of my ethernet wires fit for some reason

versed rock
#

That's because it's a Phone Jack...

idle compass
#

Oh ok

versed rock
#

Phone Jacks use RJ-11 connectors, Ethernet is RJ-45

idle compass
#

Is it possible to like make your own in the wall like make a hole and install your own ethernet port

versed rock
#

Yes.

#

That's entirely possible.

#

Do you own this house?

idle compass
#

Yes

versed rock
#

Ok, then you can do what you fork well please.

#

My dad and I ran an Ethernet Cable from the Living Room where the router is, to the office where our PC's are.

idle compass
#

How do you install one tho is it hard

versed rock
#

It isn't that hard. And, if you wanted to, most electricians also run Ethernet.

#

So, you could just hire an electrician to do it also.

idle compass
#

Oh ok

#

Then I might do that

versed rock
#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nX8H2V For a 2 grand budget this is what i'd build. But, you'll have to wait for A. The 5600X and 6800XT to Launch AND get in stock. And B. Reviews on the 6800XT to see if the 3080 is better or worse than it.

viral ore
#

the 6800xt might be the better buy regardless

idle compass
#

When is the 6800xt released

versed rock
#

Soon.

idle compass
#

And will their be stock issues

viral ore
#

its 50 cheaper, and does some funky stuff alongside the new ryzen cpus

versed rock
#

Like, this week IIRC

#

Likely there will be stock issues.

#

Because everyone is having stock issues.

little osprey
#

its 50 cheaper, and does some funky stuff alongside the new ryzen cpus
@viral ore smart access memory and rage mode

idle compass
#

As bad as the 30 series

viral ore
#

rAgE mOdE

versed rock
#

Probably not.

viral ore
#

yes

little osprey
#

no there will def be low stock

#

its a launch in the middle of a pandemic

viral ore
#

30 series was practically forced scarcity, so this launch should not be as bad

versed rock
#

I mean, the 30 series is also on a Samsung node and not a TSMC node. I'm pretty sure Samsung has less fabs than TSMC.

viral ore
#

tru, its moving to TSMC soon

#

so im sure they will be abundant eventually

little osprey
#

@little osprey how much will 3060 be?
@ebon matrix around 350 but that might not be true as they haven't announced this yet

opaque vector
#

If you move to a Ryzen 5000 series processor and and a RX6000 series cards then you get Smart Access Memory.

Bit of a noob here, not sure if I’m posting this question in the right server but here goes: I mainly use Photoshop and After Effects, maybe getting into some PC gaming, so anyone have advice on goal specs (CPU, graphics card, RAM) I can look for when shopping? Good brands/models? Or is it better to custom build?

little osprey
#

custom build would be better

weak field
#

yes

little osprey
#

also your in the right chat:)

weak field
#

save money for better specs

little osprey
#

what is your budget

weak field
#

just opened my curtain for the first time today

#

weak field
#

@fresh tundra yo?

fresh tundra

weak field

jester

fresh tundra
#

Budget: $500 - $1000

weak field
#

for the pc or setup?

little osprey
#

ok

#

if setup, then it will be tight

fresh tundra
#

That’s what budget I have atm, but I can save up for the right setup

little osprey
#

ok

fresh tundra
#

That’s my budget for the whole setup atm

little osprey
#

ok

#

that will be pretty tight

still bay
#

ik the ram is over priced but its like 10 bucks more for super cool looking ram and ik its c18 imgnna get c16

little osprey
#

you could get cheaper ram

still bay
#

its just not on pcpartpicker

little osprey
#

ok

#

nvm

still bay
#

yeah ik i might do crucial ballisitx rgb tho

little osprey
#

you could change the mobo

#

but its fine

still bay
#

yeah iwant one with decent vrm cooling for some overclocking since im getting a different cooler

weak field
#

i like the mpg

still bay
#

idk what motherboard to get i jut kinda did the first one i saw that was cheap ish

little osprey
#

thats decent

weak field
#

aorus has some nice ones

still bay
#

i hate how expensive all b550 and x570 board are

weak field
#

expensive tho

little osprey
#

nothing wrong with it

still bay
#

ik aorus does ive built with them before

little osprey
#

but personally, i would change it to asus

still bay
#

might go with aorus

#

i dont like asus

#

like in general

little osprey
#

ok

weak field
#

yeah none of us do

still bay
#

too gamer-y?

#

idk its just not for me

weak field
#

yeah

little osprey
#

i had good experience with them

still bay
#

but i think this is a pretty good build my cousin wants me to build him a pc

#

idk about the gpu tho

little osprey
#

compared to other brands

weak field
#

yeah

little osprey
#

you could go evga

weak field
#

its pretty solid

still bay
#

yeah same but like i have a asus mobo rn

#

i just dont like how gamery it is

#

hes buying it for xmas so it should be in stock

#

not gonna necesarrily get that exact gpu fom gigabyt

#

its just any 3070

#

but overall thats a good build? its worth getting a decent cpu cooler and overclocking a 3600 right?

#

and the case is like whatever idk its cool and also has good airflow

#

might do a different one

balmy patio
#

i would get a nvme drive

little osprey
#

dense matrix
#

im lookin at this card: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 9260 9260NGW 9260AC NGFF M.2 2230 WiFi Card 1730Mbps 2.4/5GHz Bluetooth 5.0

still bay
balmy patio
#

still bay
#

oh i need to add in a wifi card but thats like whatever

balmy patio

yeh add them all and ill pick idc

little osprey
#

thats a good build

still bay
#

when ur little cousin is gonna get a nicer pc than u hae at like 300 dollars less (i built mine a few years ago)

little osprey
#

p1 would be better

still bay
#

:(

little osprey
#

but

#

the 970 evo is cheaper rn

still bay
#

kids like 9 and is gonna get a beast of a pc

opaque vector
#

damn

still bay
#

realistically i MIGHT try to put in a 5600x but 300 is kind aeh

#

and idk if its needed for just a 3070 and some like fortnite idk what he does

#

hes a console gamer so really i could do a 1650 and he'd be shocked

little osprey
#

3070 and 5600x should be good

#

if you fit it

#

that would be good if u cant its fine

#

i remember when i was console and i switched to pc

#

it was a 1050ti

#

lol

still bay
#

lol i had a 1050ti

#

now i have a 1070ti

dense matrix
#

@still bay when i switched to pc i went straight for the 2060 super, I'm definitely pleased and it wasn't over the top expensive, just food for thought

little osprey
#

@dense matrix gon on the website of the mobo

#

and if it works then it works

balmy patio
little osprey
#

if not we can help you look for another one

#

@balmy patio the 970 evo is cheapr than the p1 rn

#

1tb 970 evo for 69.99

ebon matrix
balmy patio
#

no, i put the options i recommended for him so that he could choose which one to go with at the end

#

and i accidentally replaced the 970 evo he already had in the list

#

so ig that could be another option

still bay
#

ty joesr et me look

#

anything i sould keep in mind in terms of performance

#

honesly imma just do western digital i tink it the brand i trust the most

#

so

#

that and crucial

dense matrix
#

@little osprey the msi website just says "1 x M.2 slot with E key for Integrated Intel® Wireless-AC(CNVi) module only" so im not sure which cards this limits me to when looking for the part

little osprey
#

do you have a link for the wifi card

dense matrix
#

aside from the obvious

little osprey
#

ye get

still bay
#

@balmy patio whats the difference between the western digital one and the crucial one

little osprey
#

samsung 970 evo as that 1tb is cheap now

#

and samsung is really good

#

@dense matrix this basically means you need a wifi card which is m.2 e

balmy patio
#

where are they selling 1tb nvme at 70 bucks?

little osprey
#

amazon

#

check pc part picker

#

they are different wifi card types

#

like m

#

so pick e

#

i will check the link rn

balmy patio
#

i checked the price on a samsung 970 evo 500gb and its 69 dollars

#

a pretty sweet deal in my opinion

foggy hazel
#

not really

#

still a good deal above mp34/sn750/sx8200 pro

I’m wondering if someone could lend me some assistance. I just recently purchased specs for my first pc build and after assembling it and hooking it up to the monitor I didn’t get any sort of response on my monitor. After looking at some articles I thought maybe it could be my bios software on my mobo. If anyone knows anything about an Aorus B450M mobo and a Ryzen 5 3400G CPU having compatibility issues lmk.

fading grail
#

i dont really want to gom above 1.8k

small osprey
#

@fading grail looks good, but you might want to get corsair rmx 850w psu

fading grail
#

how is it better

small osprey
#

Its just better

balmy patio
#

@hushed sigil i did the research and it did say that the mobo you chose did come with a bios update to supporte 3rd genb

#

gen

vital warren
#

150 for a psu is pretty steep

small osprey
#

Well he has extra budget

vital warren
#

just get an enermax revolution d.f 850 for like 130

balmy patio
#

^^

small osprey
#

Or yea that

#

That works too

ornate zephyr
#

hi

balmy patio
#

hey

ornate zephyr
#

Uh

#

Is buying a 1070 Strix worth it?

little osprey
#

Nah

#

Not with the gpus coming out

balmy patio
#

jus get a 5600xt at that price point

hushed sigil
#

@balmy patio how would I go about accessing that update?

fading grail
#

@vital warren ok ty

balmy patio
#

if i read correctly, the mobo already comes out of the factory with the bios update

hushed sigil
#

What are the chances mine didn’t? If I’m not getting any response from it.

fading grail
balmy patio
#

is everything plugged in correctly?

hushed sigil
#

Yeah. I’ve had it checked and double checked.

balmy patio
#

is there funny lights on the mobo that might indicate something?

#

like i don't remember what they're called

hushed sigil
#

There’s one red light at the bottom that stays lit.

balmy patio
#

ahh

#

yes

hushed sigil
#

Case fans and cpu cooler spins.

balmy patio
#

that's a pretty decent sign

hushed sigil
#

Does that indicate anything?

foggy hazel
#

debug led is the name @balmy patio

balmy patio
#

ahhh yes

#

thx naed

foggy hazel
#

np :)

hushed sigil
#

Would it be easier to just return my current mobo for a replacement?

#

I called Newegg and they couldn’t find a solution.

foggy hazel
#

depends on the board and how it can be updated

#

but that is not something i can help you with now. maybe in 2-3 hours

#

so, if you need an answer now, please ask someone else :)

balmy patio
#

do you know what board it is?

#

there's different variants of b540m's

hushed sigil
#

No rush It’s COVID season I’m not doing anything. And it’s an Aorus B450M.

balmy patio
#

well yeah but, do you remember which in particular?

stoic island
#

Pretty sure aorus was the board

#

Like b450m aorus

balmy patio
#

oh i see

hushed sigil
stoic island
#

Yea

#

Hm 3000 desktop ready lol

balmy patio
#

yep

hushed sigil
#

Yeah it’s very ironic.

stoic island
#

I wouldn't say so

#

98% chance it actually is.

hushed sigil
#

I’m the 2%.

stoic island
#

You don't even know bios is the issue yet.

#

So I'd step back and debug the hell out of everything else first :)

balmy patio
#

he did mention there was a red light

hushed sigil
#

Nope. I’ve had everything diagnosed already and this is the only problem left.

stoic island
#

Btw, do remember, motherboards are given the latest bios by the time they were manufactured. By the time that packaging was made, the 3rd gen ready bios was the latest bios, and therefore the motherboard in that box should be ready.

#

@hushed sigil how many times have you reset cmos?

hushed sigil
#

I have no clue what that means friend.

stoic island
#

At least try it once to start off, and then reset again, and try with a single stick of ram in each slot

#

So let's do that, before we assume bios is the issue.

balmy patio
#

he does have a 3400g, and it might sound dumb but can he try booting up with the integrated graphics instead?

stoic island
#

I assume he's been using iGPU..?

#

Don't think they mentioned a GPU at all

hushed sigil
#

No gpu

balmy patio
#

ohh i see i see

stoic island
#

@hushed sigil anyways, after you do reset cmos, try booting with only a single stick in slot 2, if nothing, do the same with the same stick in slot 4, if nothing, try the other stick in slot 2, then 4.

#

(1 stick at a time)

#

To see if it's a ram problem or maybe a CPU problem with ram channels.

hushed sigil
#

Sounds good. I’ve only got one stick of ram could that be an issue??

stoic island
#

An issue for booting, no

#

An issue for performance, yes

#

An issue for trying to figure out if the single stick is dead, yea, since you don't have another stick to compare with if it's dead or not.

#

Oh well

#

@hushed sigil check your mobo manual, looks like you might have debug LEDs

raw mist
stoic island
#

To start off, get b550

#

I'll do more edits later when I can get on laptop and actually check cad pricing for stuff

the ram tho

If I have this drive does it mean I have a Windows issue?

I’ve only ever seen it on my desktop

Afaik it's normal windows behavior

I have the money set aside for a 6900 xt, right, and I already have a new psu for it. The problem is, if I wanna upgrade, then I feel like I would also have to upgrade my cpu and mobo and I feel like at that point to just make a whole new system

Should I make a new one and sell my old one?

Or upgrade and keep same ram, storage, and case?

@whole harbor see here's the rationale- no point getting 500 chipset mobo, bc amd is dropping the AM4 socket for the next cpu. if ur spending 750$ on a PC, no reason to get a bigger psu. chances are ur not going to be buying parts that are way more expensive and power consuming in the future.

in the coming years, for storage, pci-e 4.0 is becoming more and more widespread...

But I can tell you one thing, advertising them for 10 grand on Facebook isn't a way to get people to shop on your sight

same for GPU, in 3, 4, 5, yrs, GPUs will pros need, or be helped by pci-e 4.0
