i just have some hk gaming sublimation set
whats error 500
foggy hazel
@crude hazel just something to think about: there is another 1-2gigs/sec both read and write that you can easily get. IF you go with a different model.
still bay
keycapsets.com is freaking out
might get the redline set from dixiemech
Night sakura is also sickkkk
foggy hazel
but aside from that. the list is looking nice @crude hazel
crude hazel
thanks to you and everyone else I managed to downgrade the build price
but keep high end performance
foggy hazel
as previously mentioned, you are very welcome :)
stoic island

foggy hazel
and nice to see you went with air cooling too
crude hazel
the corsair mp something and sn750 was the recommended ssd?
foggy hazel
crude hazel
mp600 i'll try it!
foggy hazel
if the price is bonkers on it, there are other options @crude hazel
crude hazel
price is good on me. 5.5k budget but only spending 4.7
i call that a successful build
foggy hazel
i mean, for the SSD

what about powersepc

i think it's microcenter's in house prebuilt company
and microcenter is cool so
weak field
ill check
crude hazel
just one last query on air cooler lol. NH-D15 better than the NH-U12A and could that fit in a p500a?
hazy rune
Better as in cools better yes
foggy hazel
and yes, it is better
hazy rune
It doesn't have the same compatibility with RAM clearance though
crude hazel
oh damn
foggy hazel
OR, ask noctua support about your specific mainboard @crude hazel
they are normally quite quick on responding to questions about that
hazy rune
Yeah. Noctua support is great.
crude hazel
might look at people's builds if they have images. see real work in action
hazy rune
I have a U12S (U12A with one fan) and it doesn't overhang RAM at all
foggy hazel
the support being good, is yet another reason why Noctua has the following that they do
hazy rune
It's almost flush actually
foggy hazel
aye, i know, hence why i linked you that, because the support email is there at the bottom :)

does anyone know of a good way to get the new Ryzen 5 5600x, with the 3070 i was able to join different things that would give me noti's but i cant find anything that'll do the same for the 5600x

@thorny portal you just have to keep on trying

@little island "is there a troubleshooting chat or can anyone help me with recent rebuild - new Ryzen 5600x on MSI B550
I just powered on the computer and not getting any signal to monitor"
what you said in the other channel
little island
yup @foggy hazel
foggy hazel
which specific mainboard?
little island
B550 A-PRO
foggy hazel
okay
lets go through the standard steps then
where is your monitor cable plugged in?
little island
I have a displayport into the GPU
foggy hazel
also, first time building or?
little island
I built the computer back in 2015 - 1st time. This is my first time upgrading since
But I changed almost everything except psu and case
foggy hazel
aye aye
little island
switched from Intel cpu to Ryzen
foggy hazel
it was more for the language used to describe things etc
little island
so new mobo, new memory, etc
foggy hazel
aye aye
little island
cool
foggy hazel
you have checked your power cables on everything right?
little island
yeah, everything seems to be spinning, gpu fans included
little island
hmm I still a novice it seems, what is the EPS exactly?
mystic needle
are there any real benefits in waiting to get an e series nzxt psu?
little island
I think so....
next kestrel
no not really
foggy hazel
please check @little island
next kestrel
if you dont want one for the aesthetics or something they're gonna be a bit overpriced anyways
little island
@foggy hazel I've got the case open...
mystic needle
like i know you get that little interface but idk if itMs even worth it
little island
the cable that I have is labeled CPU and it looks like an 8 pin
foggy hazel
thats the one :)
EPS is the actual name for it, but its CPU (or EPS) on the cable that comes from the PSU)
zenith crag
Hey guys I had a question, if I change only my motherboard in my existing PC will I have to reinstall Windows 10 again? (On the new mobo)? Thnx
little island
yeah and right by it it says CPU PWR1
foggy hazel
@little island aye. and that is plugged in correct?
ebon matrix
rgb makes me go blind
little island
@foggy hazel yeah I just unplugged them and reseated again. The clips clicked
foggy hazel
@little island thank you.
@little island when you power on the machine, does the fans spin?
little island
@foggy hazel yeah all the fans spin
foggy hazel
okay.
little island
case, gpu, cpu fans all spin
boreal valley
Should i bother upgrading from the asrock b450m pro4
before i do anything about the xfx radeon hd 6870?
foggy hazel
just above the 24pin PSU cable. there is a set of 4 debug leds
does any of them light up?
little island
there
sorry, there's a white led that lights up at the start up but then it goes away
foggy hazel
can you see which one it is?
as in, the 1st at the top or?
@boreal valley what cpu do you have in that board?
boreal valley
2600, not x
little island
@foggy hazel it switched between all 4
foggy hazel
okay. @little island you got a usb stick with nothing on?
@boreal valley GPU upgrade first then
little island
I've a usb stick with the latest bios folder on it. Its plugged into the back of the motherboard
foggy hazel
@boreal valley your mainboard and cpu is fine for now.
boreal valley
yeah
foggy hazel
@little island you got the actual manual for the mainboard there?
little island
it just came with a quick installation guide, nothing more
foggy hazel
page 33 should have a section with the title: "Updating BIOS with Flash BIOS Button"
okay
no worries
little island
but I can go to the website
little island
@foggy hazel you da man (or woman)!
boreal valley
i was sort of tempted to say "fuck off" to all the out of stock notifications and drive an hour to the nearest micro center, and get the ryzen 7
foggy hazel
take VERY good notice of line 2 @little island
boreal valley
but it's not like it's the cpu that's holding me back
little island
ok definitely I did not rename the file
hazy rune
Despite all of the "ooh shiny" with new tech, 2600x is still perfectly capable
foggy hazel
that you need to do @little island
boreal valley
(2600, not x)
foggy hazel
ideally, i would like a picture that shows the file after you have done so @little island
so, if you could dm that to me, that would be lovely :)
hazy rune
They're basically the same chip
boreal valley
are you overclocking
little osprey
no
boreal valley
then yes
little osprey
ok thx
boreal valley
funnily enough, my cooler is stock, but for my cousin's ryzen 7 cpu
hazy rune
Doesn't 2600 come with a stock cooler? lol
boreal valley
yes, but those don't have heat pipes.
i think i yeeted it
i was basically getting a bunch of hand me downs
ram
that decade old gpu
fans
he got a custom loop, so he never touched the stock cooler
still had thermal compound and everything
i did eventually upgrade the ram
but like
still roostBOT
Hakurei06#8906 has been warned
boreal valley
50 dollar pos ram
then a year later, instead of getting better ram, i just bought the same kit and shoved it in the other two slots.
cas timings were different (by which i mean worse) despite ostensibly being the same model
but that doesn't matter, because my computer crashes if i so much as think about moving the clock speed past jedec

its a cool case
left shore
The last pic the CPU cooler looks like mine a little
balmy patio
i don't even have space for it lmao
idle hawk
A lil perspective of big chungus and the 2070 super
My cooler is the cooler master 360r aio
I really wanted both cards to live in Harmony the case lol
fast smelt
what gen is any ryzen 7 cpu? trying to find a fitting motherboard
sorry i had to repeat
balmy patio
there's the most common ones, 2700x, 3700x, 5700x, 3800x
which one are you talking about
idle hawk
^^
fast smelt
3700x is the one
idle hawk
That's zen2 no?
balmy patio
zen 2 iirc
fast smelt
ok thank you this will help me a lot with my build i have a pre built im trying to upgrade bc it's kinda stinky like most pre builts
idle hawk
I question myself too much
balmy patio
make sure your mobo is compatible
fast smelt
yep i am
balmy patio
would you mind telling us the pre-build?
idle hawk
Wouldn't that be good with a b550
balmy patio
yeah
idle hawk
Even b450
balmy patio
or instead of a 3700x get a 5600x
fast smelt
yeah was thinking about that
balmy patio
but make sure you get ur bios updated if you have a b550 or x570 mobo
fast smelt
ok
balmy patio
if you don't then it most likely won't be possible to upgrade to a 5600x
idle hawk
Honestly if you can get your hands on a 5600xt get it
Will be on par or better then the 10900k
fast smelt
imma ask around locally i know a lot of people that know pc's and I might be able to buy one off of them

Already looking at that

Ssd and higher speed ram is cheaper and better
fair birch
First thing I notice is that the memory is pretty bad
balmy patio
and i would recommend getting a 500gb sata sd or nvme ssd
little osprey
well i have something called poor
fair birch
Like for the price the memory is bad
little osprey
most of the parts ive gotten throughout years
balmy patio
and also, what's your budget?
little osprey
i already have memory
fair birch
Ik you have a budget unlike some ppl 👀
little osprey
and also, what's your budget?
@balmy patio like under 300
idle hawk
Is this a build you already built?
little osprey
no
idle hawk
Oh ok
little osprey
some parts i have
idle hawk
Which parts do you have already
balmy patio
300 bucks, what do you already have?

for the case, will he be good with a p300a mesh?
or a masterbox
balmy patio
hold up
little osprey
i dont honestly need a really high end case
fair birch
I’m sorry but with that budget you have to get used stuff
idle hawk
^^
little osprey
im fine with that
fair birch
Like on eBay
little osprey
honestly thats fine
idle hawk
Is it possible to save for a lil while
balmy patio
wait i'll see if i pull something up for 300 bucks
little osprey
just dm me the part named pls plox
balmy patio
honestly thinking about going into the diypc range for the case
fair birch
Big oof lol
balmy patio
nah prolly a focus g or a focus g mini will be fine
fair birch
I’d rather use a microwave
idle hawk
It's possible
idle hawk
Can heat soup at 144hz
fair birch
Yessir
fair birch
auto destruct mode
idle hawk
Oof
balmy patio
idle hawk
He turned on the overclock
balmy patio
its not bad for a microwave build
fair birch
Lmaooooo
idle hawk
That 2080ti definitely a cooker lol
narrow rose
when the Feds show up you just set the microwave to 5 minutes on high and run
fair birch
Lol
balmy patio
ok so a kingston 240 is fine for a sata ssd, right?
idle hawk
Lmaooo
balmy patio
there's this guy on a budget and yeah im trying to see what i can pull up for 300 bucks
fair birch
If he already has a computer then I would stick with it and save money
Cuz 300 is nothing
narrow rose
A case is a luxury on a $300 budget just screw the motherboard and everything else to a piece of old plywood
idle hawk
I be feeling spoiled sometimes lol
balmy patio
bruh im hooking it up with a diypc case

Lol
idle hawk
I bought cooler master case that someone recommended me a few days ago @narrow rose

idle hawk
Ok now rebel
narrow rose
@idle hawk nice its roomy and it can breathe

I'm hoping it will
I might change the case fans in it
I think it was you that recommended this case to me nilboggen
narrow rose
nice good job me
balmy patio
at 300 bucks im debating if he's better off with an igpu than a 1030
narrow rose
so does a 1030 tbh
balmy patio
i saw a jazytwocents vid on a 3200g and it wasn't that bad on games
idle hawk
Yea but better of 2 evils
narrow rose
well and then the gpu can be a future upgrade....
fair birch
He already has the gpu
balmy patio
yeah
idle hawk
Oof
fair birch
I feel bad we’re bullying him right now lol
balmy patio
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GGYbK3 @little osprey
by lowering down the wattage i managed to get a case and a ssd

@little osprey if you already have a computer stick with it and save money for in the future
fair birch
Lol
balmy patio
how much do you even need to boot windows up?
balmy patio
i'll jus give him a 120gb ssd so that he can allocate 100gb to windows and have some apps and important docs with it

paper coral
so what is a parts list?

@idle hawk and its an antec.... its definately suspect
balmy patio
lmao you shouldn't be spending more than like 1.5k on a pc alone if you don't need it
idle hawk
Antec more like anboom
narrow rose
on that pc it should be fine will never use more than 200w lol
narrow rose
suprisingly its also not modular at its low entry cost of cheaper than dirt
balmy patio
i personally like the way black chonky air coolers look
like it jus looks so big and it has a big presence in within the pc
paper coral
so can i have a parts list?
balmy patio
i'll make you one rq

that is "just" getting in at your budget
balmy patio
i've got a quick question before i head out, does cas latency matter?
foggy hazel
but the problem is its a mix of a tradeoffs
narrow rose
@balmy patio yes
but the higher the frequency goes the more you give up its a trade off
fair birch
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/96WyK3
@narrow rose the ram is a bit overkill
narrow rose
the whole thing is overkill he gave me a $6000 budget and I only spent $4000
had to splurge on ram if nothing else
balmy patio
uhhhh i think he said 6k aussie bucks iirc
narrow rose
you cant lie to me like that lol

Aud
idle hawk
4k build jesus
paper coral

@paper coral did you see the list i linked you above?
narrow rose
lol yeah thats wierd it started as an intel cpu so partpicker must have kept me in intel after I changed
idle hawk
Nilboggen lmaooo
paper coral
@foggy hazel no?
narrow rose
wait that motherboard is ok it is an AM4 despite odd name
foggy hazel
i know it is. but chipset sure as heck aint going to support that cpu @narrow rose :)
narrow rose
lol your right I blame partpicker
foggy hazel
really now?
fair birch
Am I the only one that originally joined the server cuz if this https://gleam.io/fqvQ0/linus-reviews-build-3090-giveaway?l=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Finsider%2Flinus-tech-tips-review-build-giveaway%2F%3Fcm_mmc%3Dsnc-youtube-_-insider-sweepstakes-_-linusreviewsbuild-_-nov2020&r=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com%2F
foggy hazel
@paper coral did you see it this time?
balmy patio
no you're not i think i've seen someone else @fair birch
narrow rose
its my case ❤️
fair birch
I’m not gonna be a choosing bigger but I’d rather the build have a better case lol
*Begger
narrow rose
dont hate on my case we already did that today
fair birch
Wait what lol
balmy patio
yeah if i'm wasting vast amounts of money on a pc im gonna make sure it looks nice tbh
narrow rose
somebody was trying to fit a second aio in one this afternoon
brittle tinsel
I’ve been told by a friend you need 2gb vram per monitor, on top of 4-6gb for the game, is this true?
narrow rose
not really
fair birch
I’ve never heard of anything like that
foggy hazel
by that logic, i would not be able to game at all on this machine @brittle tinsel
fair birch
But the logic doesn’t make sense
narrow rose
according to Toms hardware a second monitor at 1440p uses about 50mb of vram lol
fair birch
Lol
narrow rose
so negligible
balmy patio
if that logic were true then sheesh idk how my cousin's bf has three monitors all 1080p with a 1660s and with a game running on one of them
so no i wouldn't say it's true
brittle tinsel
So the 3070 8gb could handle 4-5 monitors?
balmy patio
4 iirc
brittle tinsel
Do splitters work or is it not recommended to have 5?
foggy hazel
mst hubs works just fine
narrow rose
it can only send 4 signals
foggy hazel
you are generally limited by actual desktop space
balmy patio
i think you can daisy-chain with display port 1.2 and thunderbolt
narrow rose
but you could display those same 4 things many times with splitters and repeaters
balmy patio
so in other words, mirroring the display?
balmy patio
eh the only scenario im thinking of is for presentations
narrow rose
if you need 5 screens for desktop realstate you need an additional gpu
foggy hazel
no @narrow rose
balmy patio
or jus get a giant screen if its the correct resolution and dont want bezels
foggy hazel
as i said, mst hubs
narrow rose
that doesnt make a new signal though
foggy hazel
it takes a signal and splits it
narrow rose
yeah I thought he needed 5 separate signals
foggy hazel
nope
narrow rose
oh
foggy hazel
but mst hubs are just not remotely cheap to deal with
and IF you actually need that amount of displays, there are more elegant solutions for it
narrow rose
like a laptop lol
foggy hazel
usb displays if its semi-static stuff
brittle tinsel
Ok so 3 monitors and a portrait monitor will work but also be the limit? @narrow rose
narrow rose
yeah
brittle tinsel
Alright thanks guys
narrow rose
I mean another gpu is still viable to get more than 4
they arent linked and are each just driving the displays that they are plugged into
rare sundial
can any say me which is the best mobo for i5 10400 LGA1200
narrow rose
the least expensive one that has the features you need really
anything you absolutely need out of the motherboard? Its not a k so no overclocking. do you need wifi? etc
rare sundial
yes
rare sundial
thank you@narrow rose
narrow rose
np
sharp tundra
@rare sundial I want that profile pic, where can I find it?
silent canyon
what motherboard would be able to handle the r5 5600 and rtx 3070 without putting a hole in my wallet?
sharp tundra
Any x570
Or b550
B550 without putting a hole in your wallet
@silent canyon
X570's are more expensive cause they often have more features

final revision of the pc im building
*hopefully going to build
sharp tundra
Bruh
fallen escarp
wait
before you say anything
it's going to be something about ram or psu wattage isnt it
sharp tundra
Yes
fallen escarp
told you
sharp tundra
32gb of ram, when you could use some of that for something better than a 1660s?
And yeah, that psu is a bit too much for that system
fallen escarp
i just want to surprise a friend by (somehow) allocating some ram to their minecraft server
sharp tundra
Then build him a server box?
fallen escarp
And yeah, that psu is a bit too much for that system
@sharp tundra might want to upgrade, it's gonna be my first pc build anyway i wont let it go to shame lol
sharp tundra
I mean that ram is gonna be pointless for server allocation if you only have 6 cores
How are you gonna game and run a server off the same machine?
fallen escarp
i dont mean a crazy minecraft server with 10 billion plugins and special coded ones
just survival minecraft
sharp tundra
For just you and him?
fallen escarp
for a little friend group of around 10 people
sharp tundra
Then just get 16gb of 3600 speed ram and use the rest of the money for 6 months of minecrfat realms,
10 players server thats always up, and you don't have to trouble shoot it when it has problems
Tbh, you don't even need 16gb
fallen escarp
but that's l a m e
sharp tundra
I mean, you do you, I'm just here for recommendations
$7.99 USD/month for a realm
For 10 players to be on at one time
I'm telling ya now though, running a minecraft server off your machine while gaming on it is gonna cause issues with only 6 cores
fallen escarp
how many cores do you recommend for a server?
sharp tundra
I can't be certain but 8 minimum, 12 if you wanna be comfortable.
And having that may be out of your budget it seems like
fallen escarp
my budget is $1,300
sharp tundra
The cheapest 8core is $220, it s the ryzen 7 2700x, which is what I have.
The cheapest 12 core is $469
fallen escarp
if it doesn't work out ill just get a realm
sharp tundra
Alright, better to save the money now then try and flip parts later.
But its up to you
sharp tundra
If you plan on editing, rendering, and Google chroming the F outta your pc, I'm sure that 32gb would be great
sharp tundra
Is blender a graphics rendering program?
fallen escarp
i think so
sharp tundra
You wanna blender with a 1660s? Lol
fallen escarp
better than a 1070
sharp tundra
I mean yes, but you are still very limited on capabilities
Even my rx 5600xt is not great
But its good for what I need
Which is comfortable 2k gaming at high frames(i think)
fallen escarp
pretty cool
sharp tundra
And maybe some 4k here and there
A 1660s can do 4k,
Just not that great at it
My buddy tried playing ark on 4k and his frames were like 37-50ish
fallen escarp
my dad for some reason bought an 8k tv and put it in the living room
sharp tundra
Bruh
fallen escarp
are you thinking what i'm thinking
sharp tundra
Most games don't even support 8k res so it'd be useless
sharp tundra
I wouldn't see why some wouldnt
Also that 8tv is probably only 60hz
Poop for gaming
valid talon
Don’t worry give it 10 years and 8K will become the new 1440p
fallen escarp
lmao
sharp tundra
So even IF, you could get your 1660s to shet out 8k, you would be capped at 60 fps
But you might wanna have a fire extinguisher on standby
fallen escarp
144hz hertz my eyes a bit (please laugh)
valid talon
Until recently i had a decent rig but it was paired with a 1080p 60hz monitor
fallen escarp
it'll be fun to try
valid talon
Shhh
valid talon
Remember the average customer isn’t suppose to know about the refresh rate just the pixels
I want the rtx 3080 in stock
Some things just won’t happen
sharp tundra
Don't we all?
fallen escarp
average 144hz fan
sharp tundra
I want a 4k 144hz qled monitor
@sharp tundra but I don't wanna spend $2k on a monitor
fallen escarp
average 4k 60hz enjoyer
tidal osprey
anyone wanna join my friend group dm me

sorry

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xchBj2 @mortal verge
May need some tweaking but that's the general idea for my next build.
Jumping up from a 4th gen i7 4790k and 1070.
Oh and ignore all the warnings. Those are fake news.
mortal verge
@pliant escarp sick build, but as i can see on the web 5800x is a waste when you can add 50$ and get the 5900x 5800x is a bad price per value
foggy hazel
@sharp tundra he is replacing the stock ones in the case
plus doing a cooler mod at the same time it seems
fairly standard fare for more special itx builds
sharp tundra
But 7 fans in that mini itx case tho?
foggy hazel
3 are for the GPU potentially
sharp tundra
What you mean?
foggy hazel
let me just find an example of it
#build-pics message <- take a look there @sharp tundra
imagine instead of keeping the fans ON the gpu. they got replaced with noctuas
foggy hazel
again, i dont know his exact plan
just saying there are some fairly normal ways it could be used :)
