I care about that too but I also want it to look good
Ok apart from the case
:P
What’s better
In the lian li Pcmr edition
White
Black
Black with white accents
Black white chrome
Which one
yh theres a cashback offer, so ill get like £50 something back
What do you need PCIe 4.0 drive for
is quite unnecessary and overpriced for most people
just gonna put the os, gamings and editing stuff on it
then I'd just substitute in a PCIe 3.0 drive
probs is unnecessary, but i want to sort of future proof as its my first pc. What should it be used for then?
ah right#
If you move around 50gb files as a hobby kind of thing
i do like to treat myself with a bit of file moving every once in a whiile
My edits : Basically same price, except with a 3080
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/NpdwcT
were you able to get a 3080 then?
hm?
if thats your build, were you able to get yourself a rtx 3080?
@ebon matrix @versed laurel my friend gave me a budget and I picked the parts! + put it all together
nah, I don't personally have a need for one, but I've seen it in stock as recently as like 8 hours ago
jc you build it yet?
Dobyou guys think this is good
what it be lookin like
oh right, i havent bothered looking since i got a 3070 and wanted to spare myself from knowing i could get better xD
I could've bought em, but I don't have the monies for that.
K
@weak field check in #build-pics i cant link to it yet lol
alright
@little osprey only issue I see is with that case :P
How
hows the airflow in the case i linked?
how much was the 1070?
220 i think
wow when i finally deicde to switch to pc gaming, a pandemic strikes and all the parts price increase
got it slightly used
usually the 'gaming' cases from other brands are bad
so @solar sigil u didnt get anything?
smart
as in asus msi gigabyte nd stuff
oh dang, might have to cop on
literally other than the psu everything cost min $100
I got some shine 😉
Reason: Bad word usage
😳
gonna have my 5900x suffocating
yeah
The brands that's actually had experience making cases is nice
“help i cant breath”
oh well, ill be gaming at 1080p so hopefully it wont die too soon #
@little osprey I would agree with Mr111 here but if you have the extra cash may look into AIO to cool your processor
look nice
if you have the extra money go for it
but if not the stock cooler with ryzen is fine 😎
It doesn't cool better than air coolers by any real margins.
lol
tforce delta the only good one
gotta got for16 on that surely
104.99 for 650w seems a little high right?
yeah
Its 80 plus gold
get a Phanteks amp 650w
53$ for 16gb 3200mhz cl18
whats the difference between cl16 and cl18?
18 is better?
@little osprey efficiency rating doesn't mean quality
@solar sigil 3600c18 = 3200c16 in first word read
Ok
ah
latency matters.
cheaper gpus for that performance point aswell
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to offer some tech support? I just build a PC and I'm having trouble getting it to work. 😦
Whats wrong with it
sure
👍
I put it together and am trying to install windows 10 on it from a flash drive from my home PC. As it's loading in the little circle stops moving after a few loops and it stops progress there. https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/pd/32096834 - should be all the parts.
5600xt? basically a 2060
It's just supposed to be a little thing for my work.
Galdalf, Have you tried using a known good USB ?
well I have other concerns about the part choices.... but It should theoretically boot still
@little osprey wd blue as a m.2 ssd is kinda bad
Also, I don't know if a520 supports ryzen 3000 apus
It will never play a video game, it's literally just going to be on a web browser, and printing things it's whole life. My boss wanted it cheap.
I don't think the board supports the cpu
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/A520M-A-PRO#support-cpu
Welcome to the MSI Global official site. We are the top Gaming gear provider.
but the rest of the parts are eh...
underwhelming at best
for example, TT smart 80+ is a PSU that's known for really bad failures
It's supposed to be 😅
like
damn
burning up kinda failures
CX1 is dramless, bad SSD too
@shell crown I'd try to get like a b450 board or a320 board and try at least, because I don't think A520 supports 3000 APUs
So in order to get this thing running, I'll need to replace something, I was reading and I could have sworn they all matched, I was looking for onboard graphics to save money
Thanks!
So what m.2
@little osprey try Team MP34
pricing recently is really bad for online retailers
ryzen 3 3100 or ryzen 5 2600x????
so like this thing maybe, swap out the 512gb ssd for 1tb @little osprey
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/qn9H23
pricing all wacky tho
ryzen 3 3100 or ryzen 5 2600x????
gamer
does anyone know good case and good fans
Noctua fans?
Noctua fans are better than corsair fans
corsair
no doubt about it
ye
@little osprey already out smh
but noctua are expensive
Corsair is more expensive lmao
find me a corsair fan under 25$
let's say match the price of this fan
https://www.newegg.com/noctua-nf-p12-redux-1300-pwm-case-fan/p/1YF-000T-000K2
I'm waiting >:D
@little osprey how about this
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1543118-REG/cougar_mx330_g_air_gaming_mid_tower.html/BI/19488/KBID/11704
3 fans included at 55$
Motherboard Support ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX
@solar sigil Noctua has a better fan for cheaper still >:D
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-redux-1300-high-Performance-Award-Winning-Affordable/dp/B07CG2PGVG/
ik ik lololol you asked so I had to go look
o7 good luck
i broke cpu

seriously?
probably not
I certainly hope not
i fixed it
bent the pins back in place?
gg
NSFPCMR
i send back
... you talk like this why?
u broke ur cpu?
...
wel- i suppose that could work
did it work?
ok so u broke it
oof
rest in pieces
u think that Nvidias RTX 3070 will go down?
not anytime soon
? not till a ti or super card ccomes out
nvidia doesn't drive down MSRPs unless there's a new card they want people to buy
maybe they mean come down as in come in stock?
for example the rtx 2070 dropped to ~400$ when the 2070 super comes out
maybe they mean come down as in come in stock?
@stoic island maybe
oh hey. im green now
pog

@stoic islandhttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/pjvC68 is there another memory option that is white
oh i found it thanks
should i get a rog strix b450 gaming f or a asrock steel legend?
b450 is niiiiice
got the built in io shield and alot more features
steel legend does the job but is cheaper and less feature rich
it depends on the cpu you ahve
Rx 6800s drop next Wednesday
nice
gigabyte b450m or asrock b450m pro 4
preference honeslty
One probably has a feature you want over the other
is rtx 5600 worth it?
it depends on what you want @little osprey
what do i want
Can anyone make me a $1000 USD part pickers at maximum 1.2k usd with a graphics card, WiFi card, a recommended monitor with it the monitor doesn’t have to fit in budget as long as it’s affordable
reeeeeee consoles in a pc building channel
Mortal.
reeeeeeeeeeee
lol
jokes aside grats Joker
I’m just trying to get someone to make me a parts picker
Can anyone make me a $1000 USD part pickers at maximum 1.2k usd with a graphics card, WiFi card, a recommended monitor with it the monitor doesn’t have to fit in budget as long as it’s affordable
@little osprey i can help
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/qn9H23
@little osprey
that works too
what kind of monitor are you after? something cheap? something large?
high refresh rate?
144hz
10hz
And $200 at most
youre asking the wrong server lmao
depends on what you need
I know it’s just I wanna get a pc
console only games
But I Dony know
PC does lots of things
@viral ore Check this out on @Newegg: Samsung C27R500 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 60Hz 4ms VGA HDMI FreeSync Flicker-Free Curved LED Backlit Monitor https://www.newegg.com/dark-blue-gray-samsung-cr500-lc27r500fhnxza-27/p/0JC-0007-00M69?Item=0JC-0007-00M69&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-0JC-0007-00M69-_-11102020
thats crap lol
nice techie @viral ore
woah
curved monitors are pretty nice
kinda small to be curved 
true
really good if you are looking straight into it tho
looks kinda wack at an angle
Backlit LED Slight Curved Gaming Monitor
also they show it vertical lol that feels weird
what?
asrock b450
i go die in hole now
i wrote a script that watches that sorta stuff for me
just get a b550 pro4 if it's still 90
need to add newegg tbh
actually i think its back to 115 nvm
@little osprey a console would be cheaper and easier, but if you wanna build a pc, you can use it for tons of other things, so it really just depends on what you want
consoles are gonne be heavily scalped over the next few weeks tho
so it might be hard to get one
hes right
but a console plus a 144hz monitor would be cheaper
forgot to mention that to my bud when he was thinking about getting an xbox
im having second thoughts of selling it now idk what to do
im sure its a fine motherboard
get a 2080 from somone used lmao
@little osprey https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tfbDqp
can someone make me a pc part picker list for $600 pls
Good airflow micro case?
Can someone take a look and tell me if there’s anything that can be fixed or saved price wise
I plan on getting the new amd graphics card the rtx 3080 is just place holding
Good airflow micro case?
@cursive magnet FD Focus G mini
@serene spire why a 3700x?
5600x gonna come back in stock for 299 soon
Also place holding
@serene spire 6800xt will be 649
Ok that’s what I plan on getting I get paid literally the day it comes out so it’ll be fun to see if I can get my hands on one
ha
i kno im silly
can't argue with 2x the m.2 slots
@serene spire how much do you care about how the system looks?
also, what are the odds you get a second M.2 ssd in the future
then tell us what it is
but no one uses 2x M.2
i wouldnt tell someone to get a second nvme drive
i would say get a sata ssd
or another hdd
because its good enough
wahts a good 16gb 3200 ram kit
i went into bios and set my ssd as my primary boot device but when i try to boot it says "reboot and select a proper boot device" but if i select my hdd it boots into windows fine
and i want my ssd as my boot drive
you have to install windows to the ssd
if i already have in on the hdd how would i transfer it
So most likely I won't get my gpu today
can i download windows onto my ssd with the media creation tool?
you format a usb with the media creation tool
then boot from the usb and go through the installation process
So most likely I won't get my gpu today
@sharp tundra sucks
Bruh i gotta wait til the 27
Well I didn't put in an apartment number in my address and UPS, even though THEY have my package right now, won't let my change the delivery address.
So I had to sit on newegg Customer support, and I don't even think they did anything cause my tracking status still shows the same thing.
Damn
so i already have windows on my pc but my hard drive is my boot device
all i wanna do is make my ssd the boot device
the pc already works
I have this old ass computer with windows 10 pro 64bit
Butt I don’t know if the key would work on my new pc
Tie it to a Microsoft acc
Don't quite remember how it works, but you can tie the key to a Microsoft acc and activate it that way
Only if it’s a full version not OEM
Anyone know if this build is good for 1.7k budget? Or can I save any money anywhere without loosing performance. Also, not sure if this motherboard is good for the 5600X https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ggF8Jf
Looks alright
@fading grail it's good nuff, I'd make some slight changes tho.
what should I change
Aio is what he's gonna say
Any ideas on how to get these fans out without using a hammer? It’s a Antec DF500 RGB
Mp34 1tb
Whats wrong with them
@fading grail Truth is, Mr1111 doesn't like corsair or samsung, nothings wrong with them
@sharp tundra I haven't even said anything about the aio yet lmao
At 107$ it's decent
will discord affect my game
Idrc, can't be bothered to talk about air cooling being superior rn
Not if you have at least 6 core
any better psus?
Revolution d.f. 850w at 130$
Multi rail with jap caps
It's a great psu
@little osprey link doesn't work btw
Yes
Also discord affects all builds lmao
It doesn't matter
It's still a running process
Idrc, can't be bothered to talk about air cooling being superior rn
@stoic island aircooling is better, until you OC
depends on case and rad tbf
@cursive wharf considering complexity of something like an aio and like a nh u12a
:p
They do
More cars with rads than without them
For space constraints
By a long ahot
Okay I will admit something
There is a case where aircooling is better, but unless you want to here a jet rolling through your house, then water cooling
okay, but is output heat incredibly high?
why wouldnt it be
cause fans go woosh
Look at the pump

water go " "
With a decent fan on, they can sound the same
@viral ore sorry I’m at work so couldn’t reply right away looks not really mostly just white case is only requirement I have
120mm AIO vs D15, you have more fin stack on D15. Liquid doesnt magically make heat energy go away
Aircooling works better under faster air speeds, and in turn, louder fans due to the speed
can someone go on a call with me and show me how know if my front fans are intake and not exhaust 
just flip them
@cursive wharf btw is grand macho still relevant?
@weak field yeah but i don’t know which way to put it
I know this cause Mercedes F1 team rely more on aircooling cause they bank on themselves being at the front of the race
And there car suffered terrible for being stuck behind slower cars
I don't see how it makes any sense to compare air and water cooling in different applications
All that matters is application specific performance
output heat is too low on a PC to really care about the magic that liquids give for cooling. So mainly it's looking at how much rad space there is.
@stoic island probably, still D15/DRP4 competitor. But I usually cap out at Mugen 5
And I'm sure the same physics apply to PCs
@sharp tundra heat doesn't just dissapear when you have an aio
@cursive wharf I mean, take a grand macho, that things huge, and just do passive lol
No noise
I know, rads rely on air flow to disburts their heat away from the rad fins, but it doesn't take as air to do the same effect but better
@sharp tundra well, if they're louder, how can you explain noise normalised testing?
Doesn't take as air to do the same effect but better ..?
Super efficient fans, like noctua
You know that you need pressure optimised fans for rads right
But if it wasn't for noctua, could you say any other brand could really compete against water cooling?
Because slap an airflow fan on a rad, and you'll see why pressure oriented fans are made that way
@sharp tundra be quiet
Drp4
Drp4
What about that
Scythe Mugen
Lol exactly
@sharp tundra what about cnps20x
@stoic island nice on techie
Thermalright Arrow or Grand Macho
Scythe maybe not
Any air cooler that competes with aios is a higher end air cooler isn't it??? 😄
What about scythe fuma 2
Any air cooler that competes with aios is a higher end air cooler isn't it??? 😄
@rich void well duh
The discussion isn't stock intel cooler v. 360 rad or something
No, aircooling vs watercooling in general
Nh-d15 vs h115i
@rich void both of em are very high end, there is no one winner really.
Which is better
@sharp tundra I'm talking in general
Is it fair to compare a 20$ cooler to a 200$ one?
personally I would only go liquid for aesthetics I like air
@rich void both of em are very high end, there is no one winner really.
@stoic island right. I'm trying to point out that Nomad seems to be missing the point
Thats what I said
personally I would only go liquid for aesthetics I like air
@vital warren yea
heat dissipation mostly relies on surface area and airspeed
There is a case where aircooling is better, but unless you want to here a jet rolling through your house, then water cooling
@sharp tundra
What was this about then
:p
Welp
Air cooling great
Contests AIOs
I wasn't just referring to AIOs
Lmao
sure you can take a U12/Gammaxx 400 and compare it to a 360mm x 360mm rad, but does that win because it's liquid - or because of surface area
Mhm
You can't really compare a custom loop to an air cooler. They're very different in terms of cost and setup.....
you can, just need to be careful about how you go about comparing them
air coolers are large, low fin density coolers. Rads are smaller, high fin density coolers
in the end come close to the same until extreme examples (such as 360x360 rad or smth)
Eh, fins still the same, just relocated
Well this originated off of how mr1111 said aircooling was better than an aio, which I agree to an extent, but then I brought up watercooling in general, and he said aircooling was still better
nah, fin density is def higher on most rads I've seen
I'm referring to where Nomad said they weren't just talking about aios. The competition for an air cooler is other air coolers and aios imo. Custom loops are a very different market segment
I know
Sooo
I'm not but hurt or anything, are you?
Well it may be from forces outside this chat 😉
It must be
Lol
stop using a gaming chair
Conclusion, watercooling better than aircooling
@weak field can u take the reaction off then on
what?
Hei it's a wooden chair
@stoic island get an office chair. Great investment
reaction to?
wooden chair is gaming chair
@rich void nah
Best gaming chair
i sold that xbox series within the hour
I will not stand for 7 hours playing games, I'm sorry
Point is, air cooling dominate <100$.
coolermaster
:D
many fans
ty
Point is, air cooling dominate <100$.
@stoic island yes
Omg
I'm just gonna go back to suggesting u12a yaknow
Ppl say you need aio to oc 5600x
Unless you have something to match
Im like no nh-d15
@sharp tundra hell, gimme something to compare NH-U12a with >:F
go to 850w psu?
get the 10 of them $9 AIO, mod it, and run all them at once
Lol
@cursive wharf what kinda static pressure fan you running
A delta fan?
10 rads
Daisy chain?
ye
Would be in interesting mod
Daisy chain the rads off a single pump..?
That poor pump
could daisy chain all pumps lol
Hey, as long as the fitting holes are in the right place
just make sure inlets/outlets align properly. And yeah
Would be funny to see an aio mod to Daisy chain them
@cursive wharf imagine using a gpu adapter and Daisy chaining AIOs for a full loop lel
watercool chipset too
That won't work?
use smth like G12 adapter for GPU mount
I mean
There's alot more parts to cool on a gpu tho, how can one small little block cool fast enough?
Chipset would be really hard to mount
@sharp tundra just gpu die
The rest gets small heatsinks and a fan
liquid on GPU die, and fan for memory/VRM
I hope this is the last beatdown before I pull the trigger, 5700 is a place holder unless I get my hands on a 6800xt https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NKsC68
Hei, you think there's any AliExpress chipset aio adapter ..?
Id rather just get a nice clean looking waterblook
a rather expensive placeholder
Nah that's too crazy even for AliExpress tho
waterblock isnt always best
corsair gpu block
Turing usually was better under 280mm AIO until very pricy custom loop
I am a fan boi and I always will be
Me too @sharp tundra
This is a follow-up video I made when I discovered what I believe is a design flaw on corsair XG7 waterblock. After that video went live someone commented and said Corsair is aware of the issue and if I reach out they will repair the leaking block. So I thought why not its doi...
Atleast until other companies start making everything under the sun for pcs
@sharp tundra look man
Naed ruined Corsair for me
And Corsair themselves did
The only Corsair product line I don't have any issue with is the SSD
And I have one
wow, dont like Corsair PSUs? sad
I’ve never had an issue with Corsair stuff. Almost 20 years of builds
Even their cases you don't like?
okay but RM(x)
Also the cx green label or whatever
RMx is good
Depending on price tho
Pricing isn't great
CX needs to come back to nice pricing. Was their only truly great product in competition
@cursive wharf I used to hate Team, but at least they have redeeming factor of good products for cheap.
That's true
their keyboards scare me enough to buy from them :v
I fell like if there was a thousandth of a cent difference in Price to perf, mr1111 would still say the cheaper one was better
Ok I got my key it’s home not pro lmfao
lol what did Naed do this time?
Audiophile stuff
fair
Naed is just a hater too
Mhm
@stoic island https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NKsC68
the only thing naed has ruined for me are my cloud 2s lmao
but yeah, Nomad, Corsair really doesnt give much in terms of quality to price
there is only 1 product that cannot be hated
NOTHING BEATS NA-FC1 >:P
ASTRO A50 is best gaming headset, but I hate mine
fan price
I'm looking to get an aio to replace my fan what are good aios
no
H100i
guys what companies would you trust to buy from
Buy it now
F R E E Z E R I I
CORSAIR

no i mean like, stores
I wouldnt buy based off of company
@stoic island i feel like that fan controller would be best if you drill a hole into your case so it's outside of your pc lol
Azamon
So cosair has a good aio?
meh
Corsair has overpriced AIOs
I saw one on newegg site is this one good
but like
corsair's motto is "decent but overpriced"
eh
Check this out on @Newegg: MSI MAG CORELIQUID 360R AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, 360mm Radiator, Triple 120mm PWM Fans, RGB Lighting Controlled by Software https://www.newegg.com/msi-liquid-cooling-system-mag-series/p/N82E16835846009?Item=N82E16835846009&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-35-846-009-_-11102020
@lunar thorn don't listen to them, they're corsair haters
except their power supplies
MSI's aios are not great
They use a non-standard design afaik
that doesn't perform as well thermally
Is the kraken ones good?
i'm happy with my silverstone pf360-argb
i love the design on the water block
get an Arctic freezer ii
Freezer ii 280mm beats most 360mm aios
Looking for a freezer ii to look at
@lunar thorn if you have cash to burn (which you do if you're tying to buy an aio), EK-AIO
I wonder why?
my cpu is very easy to cool so i put more importance on looks lol
^^
It's so good it's out of stock lol
Finally a techie who gets it
just wanted really quiet idle while studying
for cpus would Intel Core i9-9900K be better or an Intel Core i7-10700K ?
here's the 240mm
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WSDLRVP/
10700K
10700k
technically not cuz binning
Neither
unless you can get the 9900K for cheaper
the 9900k is cheaper
AMD 5900x
by how much?
by $20
Get a 5600x
if the difference is only $20 i'd prefer the 10700K over the 9900K
This triple-fan All-In-One liquid cooling solution is a sealed, maintenance-free system that combines best-of-class performance with addressable D-RGB lighting. With a universally compatible CPU block, it fits all the latest Intel and AMD CPU sockets. Requiring a triple fan mo...
id get 10700k or 5600x if u dont have the mobo yet
i would still go 10700k over 9900k even at a $20 difference
@stoic island that 240mm you link a good one to get
5600x over 10700k
if you actually OC, 9900k
280mm and 360mm are out of stock for freezer ii
yeah thats why he linked it :p
9900KS
if your case only supports 240mm, it's one of, if not the best aio you can get
the 5600x is only better than the 10700k because of price not performance
the KS stands for Keep Spending
@stoic island or the ek aio one you linked better
@narrow rose but I'm a fanboy >:D
tbh it does beat it in gaming perf
@lunar thorn one word.
price.
if you want to slap more money on it
your choice
if your case supports it that is
I mean, if ya wanna slap money, custom loop
@stoic island price doesn't matter too much
Get a thread ripper and just give the finger to intel
in Jay2cents video from today the 10700k beats the 5600x in every game he tests....
But not break the bank and something simple lol
what ram speed was used?
@narrow rose where
stock for stock or both oc?
Rdr2 sucks anyways
But that ek aio a good one though @stoic island
depends on if you know how to OC really far usually I'd assume
@narrow rose also, did you see the 2 sticks vs 4 sticks thing GN talked about and tested earlier?
apparently GN tests intel stock at actual intel stock rather than power limits unlocked, so their non-oc intel results are lower than most
EK AIO is a good one
@stoic island ty sir
2x16 > 4x8 on most motherboards due to daisy chain topology
@earnest olive they do have 10900k oc results in a good number of em
buildzoid already went into Intel platform talking about it some time ago
Yea I heard him talking about daisy chain vs t topology on intel a while back
@stoic island oh yeah 4 sticks always helps and always has over 2 sticks
but dunno on amd
That is the craziest setup ever @south ermine
apparently most amd boards are daisy chain as well
mine is daisy chain
but i got 2x8 anyways
oh well
4 sticks is around 10% boost over 2 stick
well, mobo mastersheet can tell us whether that's true
so don't really need to care
couldnt find what ram or how much he used both with the 3090
thank you @night iron
or article if they published one
i'm waiting for 3800c16 benchmarks 😦
I was indeed say he had nice 3200 timings but bad 3800 timings
Your welcome enjoy your fantastic room @south ermine
i wonder if my ram modules would push any further than 3800mhz with a ryzen 5000 cpu
yea 3200c14, 3600c16, and 3800c18
hynix djr
I very much will boss
I barely tried and got 3800 15(16 rounded)-15-15-15-30
the 5600x did beat the 10700k in one game shadow of the tombraider on 1080p
who knows
currently running 3800 16-16-19-21-36
@cursive wharf he tested a dif kit for 3800c18 I think
dunno if it could hit 4000c18 on ryzen 5000
not until new Agesa
that's at 1.4Vdimm so probably
because I think it was a kit of trident z rgb that's the 3200c14 review kit, kit of neos that was the 3600c16 one, and a diff kit for 3800c18
Whats better 3600 c16 or 3200c14
don't remember
Zen3 doesnt like 2000 flck until some new Agesa update last I heard
3200c14
its close though but yeah 3200cl14
it's b die tho
Ooo
3200c14 in terms of pure latency but 3600c16 gets you a higher fclk
Ok so
just do 3600c14
yes
I mean, GN does show OCed 10900k in the charts btw.
10600k OCed too
I have my c16 overclocked to like c15 so I might try to push it down to 14 and see if it goes crashy
I'm running a 7700k
or 4666 at cl18
I thought rounding was only from GDM?
if you just left it off and left CR on 2t, shouldn't you not have to round?
Im not too into mem OC so idk
Dang they are out of stock of that ek aio
@stoic island yr the one who helped me with my timings mr im not into memory oc
pretty sure intel rounds up and amd rounds down but I could be wrong for CL
mine rounds up
interesting
c15 shows as c16 in mobo
did you turn on GDM?
ye
that MIGHT be it
yeah iirc amd does round down unless you have GDM on
turns c15 into c14 and causes crashy crash 😄
doesnt amd have a bios feature you can turn off to not round down?
@stoic island the ek aio is out of stock. Is that one better than that freeze one. And would it be worth the wait for re stock of the ek
GDM makes it round up
like gear mode or something
no
freezer ii beats ek aio
ek aio just has rgb
if you're spending money on an aio, you want to spend more money on rgb
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ohhh lol I see
@earnest olive ah the opposite of what I was thinking and its on by default right? the GDM
So which freeze would you reccomend @stoic island
GDM should be off with xmp..?
not sure if XMP touches it
I have a fractal design full tower case
prob 280mm
Mine was set to auto by default. Which I assume is controlled from XMP or initial mem training
I mean
@stoic island kk
my xmp is 16-19-19-39 so
same
amd says its set to auto and turns on when ram speed passes 2666
I think GDM has to be off for tRCD to be odd
that makes sense
How to turn off gdm?
why would you want to
bios
just get really good kits and get 1t without GDM
Reason: Bad word usage
Whoospie
@cursive wharf I thought it was necessary above like 3600mhz to use GDM to get 1t

runs at 1.5T instead of 1T or 2T
@stoic island this one?
wtf is that 3rd party seller
I said im at 2t should I be at 1t
i can only get 3800C16 stable at 1T with GDM on
and also it's supposed to be like 110$, not that huge price
GDM off doesn't boot
no, look at the RAM OC list on #overclocking , seen some people with GDM off at ~3800
o really
i did 3733C16 1T with GDM off though
maybe
usually GDM on gives you tighter timings
3733C16 is amazing at 1T just saying @earnest olive
well i have 3800C16 1T just with GDM on now
if GDM is on you are at 1.5T
i figured higher FCLK on ryzen is worth turning on GDM
3733C16 1T GDM off
3800C16 1T GDM on
the difference is probably negligible anyways but fun to play with
true but 3733C16 at 1T is like amazing those are good RAM sticks
it was a $68 kit
got lucky
hynix djr, xmp 3600 16-19-19-39 1.35V
lmao
3800C16 is done at 1.4V
my djr can't do like anything above 3600c16 smh
16g ram good run all games?
@lunar thorn yes
dimm temps are still sub 40 even at 1.45V
What is more used for? @narrow rose
so i figure no problem going up to 1.45
I have people telling me I need 32g
but i think my IMC won't go above 1900mhz FCLK anyways
workstation tasks like video rendering and playing Star Citizen lol
All I do is play games and such
1900mhz FCLK is already good for zen 2
Wows and discord run about 14 gb
if a game uses more than 16g its leaking memory
Im surprised my 3100 did 1900 FLCK
like, lowest end CPU still gets the nice number
Ok what's a good 1000w power supply to get
The enter max that’s 850watt
Revolution d.f. 850w
@stoic island you have an early sample 3800X right?
mhm
it's possible your ram can do over 3600 but your IMC can't
@stoic island oh only need a 850w
have you tried going uncoupled mode just to test your ram's limits
cause it's kind of unlikely that the ram's maximum stability is xmp tbh
I also have a b450 board
given voltage headroom
so maybe that
which board?
pro carbon ac
oh
I don't have SR DJR
yeah okay then 3600C16 is already excellent
yes it is
So 850w all you need is this a good one?

what is your cpu and gpu
Ryzan 7 3600 and 2080
I wanna see all the techies fight, hurry someone throw something conflicting in between them
you definitely do not need 850W
You can power that with 650w
my ram is rated for 4800 but xmp only puts it at 4666CL18 and I dont really care lol
@sharp tundra Naed wins
Oh perfect thanks!
there's no contest
about $480
Lol
