I care about performance

#

I care about not being a cash sink

urban light
#

I care about that too but I also want it to look good

Ok apart from the case

stoic island

:P

urban light

What’s better
In the lian li Pcmr edition
White
Black
Black with white accents
Black white chrome
Which one

stoic island
#

@olive breach lot of msi eh

#

I'm going to make some edits

olive breach
#

yh theres a cashback offer, so ill get like £50 something back

stoic island
#

What do you need PCIe 4.0 drive for

#

is quite unnecessary and overpriced for most people

olive breach
#

just gonna put the os, gamings and editing stuff on it

stoic island
#

then I'd just substitute in a PCIe 3.0 drive

olive breach
#

probs is unnecessary, but i want to sort of future proof as its my first pc. What should it be used for then?

stoic island
#

hm?

#

there's basically no workloads that can even utilize it

#

very very few

olive breach
#

ah right#

stoic island
#

If you move around 50gb files as a hobby kind of thing

olive breach
#

i do like to treat myself with a bit of file moving every once in a whiile

stoic island
olive breach
#

were you able to get a 3080 then?

stoic island
#

hm?

olive breach
#

if thats your build, were you able to get yourself a rtx 3080?

solar sigil
#

@ebon matrix @versed laurel my friend gave me a budget and I picked the parts! + put it all together

stoic island
#

nah, I don't personally have a need for one, but I've seen it in stock as recently as like 8 hours ago

weak field
#

jc you build it yet?

little osprey
#

Dobyou guys think this is good

weak field
#

what it be lookin like

olive breach
#

oh right, i havent bothered looking since i got a 3070 and wanted to spare myself from knowing i could get better xD

stoic island
stoic island
#

@little osprey that's a bit spammy

#

try pcpartpicker if you can

little osprey
#

K

solar sigil
#

@weak field check in #build-pics i cant link to it yet lol

weak field
#

alright

stoic island
#

@little osprey only issue I see is with that case :P

little osprey
#

How

stoic island
#

H510

#

bad airflow

olive breach
#

hows the airflow in the case i linked?

weak field
#

how much was the 1070?

stoic island
#

the MSI one in the first list?

#

dunno

olive breach
#

i didnt really do much research on it, just saw i on offer

#

yeh

solar sigil
#

220 i think

nocturne carbon
#

wow when i finally deicde to switch to pc gaming, a pandemic strikes and all the parts price increase

solar sigil
#

got it slightly used

stoic island
#

usually the 'gaming' cases from other brands are bad

ebon matrix
#

so @solar sigil u didnt get anything?

weak field
#

smart

stoic island
#

as in asus msi gigabyte nd stuff

weak field
#

oh dang, might have to cop on

nocturne carbon
#

literally other than the psu everything cost min $100

solar sigil

JackChissy#0941 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

weak field
#

😳

olive breach
#

gonna have my 5900x suffocating

weak field
#

yeah

stoic island
#

The brands that's actually had experience making cases is nice

weak field
#

“help i cant breath”

olive breach
#

oh well, ill be gaming at 1080p so hopefully it wont die too soon #

solar sigil
#

@little osprey I would agree with Mr111 here but if you have the extra cash may look into AIO to cool your processor

stoic island
#

no need smh

#

AIOs are meh

weak field
#

look nice

#

if you have the extra money go for it

#

but if not the stock cooler with ryzen is fine 😎

stoic island
#

It doesn't cool better than air coolers by any real margins.

little osprey
#

Bruh i didnt mean to send that

solar sigil
#

lol

little osprey
#

32 gbs or 16

weak field
#

😳

#

just a lil bit of tuning

stoic island
#

why team ram

#

smh

#

get 3600c16

little osprey
#

Idk

#

Ok

weak field
#

tforce delta the only good one

olive breach
#

gotta got for16 on that surely

weak field
#

53$ for 16gb 3200mhz cl18

#

decent

solar sigil
#

104.99 for 650w seems a little high right?

weak field
#

yeah

stoic island
#

wdym

#

oh yea for a EVGA GT it is

little osprey
#

Its 80 plus gold

stoic island
#

get a Phanteks amp 650w

solar sigil
#

53$ for 16gb 3200mhz cl18
whats the difference between cl16 and cl18?

little osprey
olive breach
#

response time

#

cl16 is faster latency

solar sigil
#

18 is better?

stoic island
#

@little osprey efficiency rating doesn't mean quality

#

@solar sigil 3600c18 = 3200c16 in first word read

little osprey
#

Ok

solar sigil
#

ah

stoic island
#

latency matters.

weak field
#

cheaper gpus for that performance point aswell

shell crown
#

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. 😦

solar sigil
#

Whats wrong with it

stoic island
#

sure

weak field
#

👍

solar sigil
#

I havent really heard anything about the 5600

#

is it good?

stoic island
#

It beats 10900k in most games

#

so yes.

#

5600x is good.

solar sigil
#

sorry 5600xt*

#

the gpu not processor

shell crown
#

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.

stoic island
#

5600xt? basically a 2060

shell crown
#

It's just supposed to be a little thing for my work.

little osprey
#

How bout this

solar sigil
#

Galdalf, Have you tried using a known good USB ?

stoic island
#

well I have other concerns about the part choices.... but It should theoretically boot still

shell crown
#

It'

#

It's a brand new usb

stoic island
#

@little osprey wd blue as a m.2 ssd is kinda bad

little osprey
#

can someone add good case and fans at a respectable price

stoic island
#

Also, I don't know if a520 supports ryzen 3000 apus

shell crown
#

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.

stoic island
#

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

shell crown
#

It's supposed to be 😅

stoic island
#

like

shell crown
#

damn

stoic island
#

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

shell crown
#

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!

little osprey
#

So what m.2

stoic island
#

@little osprey try Team MP34

little osprey
#

K

#

Could uou make a list for 1050

stoic island
#

pricing recently is really bad for online retailers

dense basalt
#

ryzen 3 3100 or ryzen 5 2600x????

stoic island
#

pricing all wacky tho

little osprey
#

does anyone know good case and good fans

solar sigil
#

Noctua fans?

dense basalt
#

just go look at corsair

#

they are expensive

little osprey
#

at a respectable price

#

Beuh when is the 3070 gonna come out

stoic island
#

Noctua fans are better than corsair fans

dense basalt
#

corsair

stoic island
#

no doubt about it

dense basalt
#

ye

stoic island
#

@little osprey already out smh

dense basalt
#

but noctua are expensive

stoic island
#

Corsair is more expensive lmao

#

find me a corsair fan under 25$

#

I'm waiting >:D

#

3 fans included at 55$

little osprey
#

will micro atx board fit in that

ebon matrix
#

u think that Nvidias RTX 3070 will go down?

solar sigil
#

not anytime soon

arctic jungle
#

? 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

stoic island
#

maybe they mean come down as in come in stock?

solar sigil
#

especially when theres a shortage

#

oh

arctic jungle
#

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

should i get a rog strix b450 gaming f or a asrock steel legend?

weak field
#

b450 is niiiiice

steel legend does the job but is cheaper and less feature rich

balmy patio
#

it depends on the cpu you ahve

cursive magnet
#

Rx 6800s drop next Wednesday

weak field
#

nice

little osprey
#

gigabyte b450m or asrock b450m pro 4

weak field
#

preference honeslty

little osprey
#

no

#

one has to be better

solar sigil
#

One probably has a feature you want over the other

ashen haven
#

is rtx 5600 worth it?

solar sigil
#

it depends on what you want @little osprey

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

what kind of monitor are you after? something cheap? something large?

#

high refresh rate?

little osprey

144hz

solar sigil

10hz

little osprey
#

And $200 at most

solar sigil
#

woof

#

i could be very wrong but that may be tough

little osprey

Should I get the new Xbox instead of a $1000 pc?

#

or pa5

solar sigil
#

youre asking the wrong server lmao

little osprey
#

PS5

#

lol

viral ore
#

depends on what you need

little osprey
#

I know it’s just I wanna get a pc

viral ore
#

console only games

little osprey

i wrote a script that watches that sorta stuff for me

vital warren
#

just get a b550 pro4 if it's still 90

solar sigil
#

need to add newegg tbh

vital warren
#

actually i think its back to 115 nvm

viral ore
#

@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

solar sigil
#

hes right

little osprey
#

This good?

viral ore
#

but a console plus a 144hz monitor would be cheaper

solar sigil
#

forgot to mention that to my bud when he was thinking about getting an xbox

idle hawk
#

im having second thoughts of selling it now idk what to do

viral ore
#

its 1300 dollars

#

so way overbudget

little osprey
#

Yea?

#

ok

viral ore
#

3070 is overkill for 1080P@144hz

#

970 evo overpriced ssd

little osprey
#

b450m steel legend gud

#

?

viral ore
#

im sure its a fine motherboard

cursive magnet
#

Good airflow micro case?

serene spire
#

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

viral ore
#

Good airflow micro case?
@cursive magnet FD Focus G mini

#

@serene spire why a 3700x?

#

5600x gonna come back in stock for 299 soon

serene spire
#

Also place holding

cursive magnet
#

@serene spire 6800xt will be 649

serene spire

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

stoic island
#

pg4/ac 1 m.2 slot

#

Get B550m pro vdh wifi :P

viral ore
#

mr1111 nooooooooooo

#

its mATX peepoSadSip

stoic island
#

ha

viral ore
#

i kno im silly

stoic island
#

can't argue with 2x the m.2 slots

viral ore
#

@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

glossy musk
#

well boys

#

i have a tech problem

viral ore
#

then tell us what it is

stoic island
#

@viral ore Sassy

#

you know

#

2xm.2>1xm.2

viral ore
#

but no one uses 2x M.2

stoic island
#

do you want to throw upgradability out the window?

#

they why don't you go b450 >:D

viral ore
#

i wouldnt tell someone to get a second nvme drive

#

i would say get a sata ssd

#

or another hdd

#

because its good enough

jade dock
#

wahts a good 16gb 3200 ram kit

glossy musk
#

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

viral ore
#

you have to install windows to the ssd

glossy musk
#

if i already have in on the hdd how would i transfer it

sharp tundra
#

So most likely I won't get my gpu today

viral ore
#

macrium reflect

#

or you can just do a fresh install on the ssd

glossy musk
#

can i download windows onto my ssd with the media creation tool?

viral ore
#

you format a usb with the media creation tool

#

then boot from the usb and go through the installation process

steel yacht
#

So most likely I won't get my gpu today
@sharp tundra sucks

#

Bruh i gotta wait til the 27

sharp tundra
#

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.

steel yacht
#

Damn

glossy musk
#

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

steel yacht
#

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

stoic island
#

Tie it to a Microsoft acc

steel yacht
#

Um

#

Okay

stoic island
#

Don't quite remember how it works, but you can tie the key to a Microsoft acc and activate it that way

cursive magnet
#

Only if it’s a full version not OEM

stoic island
#

Worth a try

#

I did it with a 4$ ebay key so

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

steel yacht
#

Wait what dose oem

#

Mean

sharp tundra
#

Original equipment manufacturer?

#

No

#

At least I don't think so in the pc world

fading grail
sharp tundra
#

Looks alright

stoic island
#

@fading grail it's good nuff, I'd make some slight changes tho.

fading grail
#

what should I change

sharp tundra
#

Aio is what he's gonna say

stoic island
#

Ssd

#

Lmao

#

Ssd and psu

twilit salmon
#

Any ideas on how to get these fans out without using a hammer? It’s a Antec DF500 RGB

stoic island
#

Mp34 1tb

fading grail
#

Whats wrong with them

stoic island
#

Too expensive

#

If you like throwing an extra 50$ at stuff, go ahead.

sharp tundra
#

@fading grail Truth is, Mr1111 doesn't like corsair or samsung, nothings wrong with them

stoic island
#

@sharp tundra I haven't even said anything about the aio yet lmao

sharp tundra
#

Yet

#

I know you're gonna tho

stoic island
#

At 107$ it's decent

little osprey
#

will discord affect my game

stoic island
#

Idrc, can't be bothered to talk about air cooling being superior rn

sharp tundra
#

Not if you have at least 6 core

little osprey
#

will discord affect this

fading grail
#

any better psus?

stoic island
#

Revolution d.f. 850w at 130$

#

Multi rail with jap caps

#

It's a great psu

#

@little osprey link doesn't work btw

little osprey
stoic island
#

Yes

little osprey
#

will discord affect this

#

WAIT WHAT

stoic island
#

Also discord affects all builds lmao

#

It doesn't matter

#

It's still a running process

sharp tundra
#

Idrc, can't be bothered to talk about air cooling being superior rn
@stoic island aircooling is better, until you OC

stoic island
#

It affects all builds

#

@sharp tundra even OC

#

Look at nh u12a

fading grail
#

is air cooling easier to install?

#

ive never built a pc before

stoic island
#

Yes

#

Actually

#

Rads are annoying

cursive wharf
#

depends on case and rad tbf

stoic island
#

@cursive wharf considering complexity of something like an aio and like a nh u12a

#

:p

sharp tundra
#

If air cooling was superior, they would use it in cars

#

More often then they do

stoic island
#

They do

sharp tundra
#

More cars with rads than without them

stoic island
#

For space constraints

sharp tundra
#

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

cursive wharf
#

okay, but is output heat incredibly high?

stoic island
#

What

#

@sharp tundra so you're saying air cooling is louder?

fading grail
#

why wouldnt it be

stoic island
#

Why would it be

#

The only thing making noise on an air cooler is the fan

fading grail
#

cause fans go woosh

stoic island
#

Look at the pump

weak field
fading grail
#

water go " "

stoic island
#

With a decent fan on, they can sound the same

serene spire
#

@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

cursive wharf
#

120mm AIO vs D15, you have more fin stack on D15. Liquid doesnt magically make heat energy go away

sharp tundra
#

Aircooling works better under faster air speeds, and in turn, louder fans due to the speed

neat mortar
#

can someone go on a call with me and show me how know if my front fans are intake and not exhaust 

weak field
#

just flip them

stoic island
#

@cursive wharf btw is grand macho still relevant?

neat mortar
#

@weak field yeah but i don’t know which way to put it

sharp tundra
#

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

rich void
#

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

cursive wharf
#

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

sharp tundra
#

And I'm sure the same physics apply to PCs

stoic island
#

@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

sharp tundra
#

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

stoic island
#

@sharp tundra well, if they're louder, how can you explain noise normalised testing?

stoic island
#

Doesn't take as air to do the same effect but better ..?

sharp tundra
#

Super efficient fans, like noctua

stoic island
#

You know that you need pressure optimised fans for rads right

sharp tundra
#

But if it wasn't for noctua, could you say any other brand could really compete against water cooling?

stoic island
#

Because slap an airflow fan on a rad, and you'll see why pressure oriented fans are made that way

#

@sharp tundra be quiet

What about that

Thermalright Arrow or Grand Macho

small osprey
#

Scythe maybe not

rich void
#

Any air cooler that competes with aios is a higher end air cooler isn't it??? 😄

stoic island
#

What about scythe fuma 2

small osprey
#

Any air cooler that competes with aios is a higher end air cooler isn't it??? 😄
@rich void well duh

stoic island
#

And thermalright grand macho

#

That things crazy

small osprey
#

Grand macho

#

Lol

rich void
#

The discussion isn't stock intel cooler v. 360 rad or something

sharp tundra
#

No, aircooling vs watercooling in general

small osprey
#

Nh-d15 vs h115i

stoic island
#

@rich void both of em are very high end, there is no one winner really.

small osprey
#

Which is better

stoic island
#

@sharp tundra I'm talking in general

#

Is it fair to compare a 20$ cooler to a 200$ one?

vital warren
#

personally I would only go liquid for aesthetics I like air

rich void
#

@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

sharp tundra
#

Thats what I said

small osprey
#

personally I would only go liquid for aesthetics I like air
@vital warren yea

cursive wharf
#

heat dissipation mostly relies on surface area and airspeed

stoic island
#

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

sharp tundra
#

I wasn't just referring to AIOs

stoic island
#

Wat

#

So is the roboclocker fair game now?

small osprey
#

Lmao

cursive wharf
#

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

stoic island
#

Mhm

rich void
#

You can't really compare a custom loop to an air cooler. They're very different in terms of cost and setup.....

small osprey
#

Yea

#

Good air coolers are just BIG

cursive wharf
#

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)

stoic island
#

Eh, fins still the same, just relocated

sharp tundra
#

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

cursive wharf
#

nah, fin density is def higher on most rads I've seen

rich void
#

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

stoic island
#

@sharp tundra this originated from a joke lmfao

#

Go up and read it again

sharp tundra
#

I know

stoic island
#

Sooo

sharp tundra
#

I'm not but hurt or anything, are you?

stoic island
#

I am butt hurt

#

Dunno from what

#

But my butt is hurt

sharp tundra

Well it may be from forces outside this chat 😉

stoic island

It must be

sharp tundra
#

Lol

cursive wharf
#

stop using a gaming chair

stoic island
#

Point is, air cooling superior >:D

#

Hei it's a wooden chair

sharp tundra
#

Conclusion, watercooling better than aircooling

ebon matrix
#

@weak field can u take the reaction off then on

weak field
#

what?

rich void
#

Hei it's a wooden chair
@stoic island get an office chair. Great investment

@stoic island yes

sharp tundra
#

Omg

stoic island
#

I'm just gonna go back to suggesting u12a yaknow

small osprey
#

Ppl say you need aio to oc 5600x

stoic island
#

Unless you have something to match

sharp tundra
#

Sure, sub $100

#

Only

small osprey
#

Im like no nh-d15

stoic island
#

@sharp tundra hell, gimme something to compare NH-U12a with >:F

fading kiln
#

go to 850w psu?

stoic island
#

Freezer ii only thing that contests it

#

Imo at least

#

ML sus

cursive wharf
#

get the 10 of them $9 AIO, mod it, and run all them at once

stoic island
#

Lol

#

@cursive wharf what kinda static pressure fan you running

#

A delta fan?

#

10 rads

cursive wharf
#

just put them side by side, dont need to stack

#

leave them outside of case

stoic island
#

Daisy chain?

cursive wharf
#

ye

stoic island
#

Would be in interesting mod

#

Daisy chain the rads off a single pump..?

#

That poor pump

cursive wharf
#

could daisy chain all pumps lol

stoic island
#

How does that even work lol

#

Pump - rad - pump - rad?

sharp tundra
#

Hey, as long as the fitting holes are in the right place

cursive wharf
#

just make sure inlets/outlets align properly. And yeah

stoic island
#

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

cursive wharf
#

watercool chipset too

sharp tundra
#

That won't work?

cursive wharf
#

use smth like G12 adapter for GPU mount

stoic island
#

I mean

sharp tundra
#

There's alot more parts to cool on a gpu tho, how can one small little block cool fast enough?

stoic island
#

Chipset would be really hard to mount

#

@sharp tundra just gpu die

#

The rest gets small heatsinks and a fan

cursive wharf
#

liquid on GPU die, and fan for memory/VRM

cursive magnet
stoic island
#

Hei, you think there's any AliExpress chipset aio adapter ..?

sharp tundra
#

Id rather just get a nice clean looking waterblook

vital warren
#

a rather expensive placeholder

stoic island
#

Nah that's too crazy even for AliExpress tho

cursive wharf
#

waterblock isnt always best

stoic island
#

corsair gpu block

cursive wharf
#

Turing usually was better under 280mm AIO until very pricy custom loop

sharp tundra
#

Shut up

#

Corsair hater

stoic island
#

@cursive wharf link the vid of the Corsair gpu block

#

This man needs to know

sharp tundra
#

I am a fan boi and I always will be

cursive wharf
sharp tundra
#

Atleast until other companies start making everything under the sun for pcs

stoic island
#

@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

cursive wharf
#

wow, dont like Corsair PSUs? sad

cursive magnet
#

I’ve never had an issue with Corsair stuff. Almost 20 years of builds

sharp tundra
#

Even their cases you don't like?

stoic island
#

Hei

#

CXm

#

Coil whine

cursive wharf
#

okay but RM(x)

stoic island
#

Also the cx green label or whatever

#

RMx is good

#

Depending on price tho

#

Pricing isn't great

cursive wharf
#

CX needs to come back to nice pricing. Was their only truly great product in competition

stoic island
#

@cursive wharf I used to hate Team, but at least they have redeeming factor of good products for cheap.

#

That's true

deep skiff
#

their keyboards scare me enough to buy from them :v

stoic island
#

If cx 550 started showing up at like br 600 pricing

#

I'd love em

sharp tundra
#

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

stoic island
#

Yea nachos ruined Corsair keebs for me

#

Naed ruined Corsair headsets for me

steel yacht
#

Ok I got my key it’s home not pro lmfao

cursive wharf
#

lol what did Naed do this time?

stoic island
#

Audiophile stuff

cursive wharf
#

Naed is just a hater too

stoic island
#

Mhm

#

the only thing naed has ruined for me are my cloud 2s lmao

cursive wharf
#

but yeah, Nomad, Corsair really doesnt give much in terms of quality to price

stoic island
#

there is only 1 product that cannot be hated

#
#

NOTHING BEATS NA-FC1 >:P

sharp tundra
#

ASTRO A50 is best gaming headset, but I hate mine

@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

sharp tundra
#

Azamon

lunar thorn
#

So cosair has a good aio?

stoic island
#

meh

cursive wharf
#

Corsair has overpriced AIOs

stoic island
#

they're not great

#

they're overpriced

#

if the h150i was like 110$ yea they're good

lunar thorn
#

I saw one on newegg site is this one good

stoic island
#

but like

earnest olive
#

corsair's motto is "decent but overpriced"

stoic island
#

eh

lunar thorn
stoic island
#

basically

#

@lunar thorn nah don't get it

sharp tundra
#

@lunar thorn don't listen to them, they're corsair haters

earnest olive
#

except their power supplies

stoic island
#

MSI's aios are not great

#

They use a non-standard design afaik

#

that doesn't perform as well thermally

lunar thorn
#

Is the kraken ones good?

earnest olive
#

i'm happy with my silverstone pf360-argb

stoic island
#

no

#

overpriced again

earnest olive
#

i love the design on the water block

stoic island
#

get an Arctic freezer ii

cursive wharf
#

also 280mm>360mm

#

if good fans

stoic island
#

Freezer ii 280mm beats most 360mm aios

lunar thorn
#

Looking for a freezer ii to look at

stoic island
#

@lunar thorn if you have cash to burn (which you do if you're tying to buy an aio), EK-AIO

sharp tundra
#

I wonder why?

earnest olive
#

my cpu is very easy to cool so i put more importance on looks lol

sharp tundra
#

^^

stoic island
#

It's so good it's out of stock lol

sharp tundra
#

Finally a techie who gets it

earnest olive
#

just wanted really quiet idle while studying

dusty zodiac
#

for cpus would Intel Core i9-9900K be better or an Intel Core i7-10700K ?

stoic island
earnest olive
#

10700K

stoic island
#

10700k

cursive wharf
#

technically not cuz binning

sharp tundra
#

Neither

earnest olive
#

unless you can get the 9900K for cheaper

dusty zodiac
#

the 9900k is cheaper

sharp tundra
#

AMD 5900x

earnest olive
#

by how much?

dusty zodiac
#

by $20

stoic island
#

Get a 5600x

earnest olive
#

if the difference is only $20 i'd prefer the 10700K over the 9900K

stoic island
#
deep skiff
#

id get 10700k or 5600x if u dont have the mobo yet

narrow rose
#

i would still go 10700k over 9900k even at a $20 difference

lunar thorn
#

@stoic island that 240mm you link a good one to get

sharp tundra
#

5600x over 10700k

cursive wharf
#

if you actually OC, 9900k

stoic island
#

280mm and 360mm are out of stock for freezer ii

deep skiff
#

yeah thats why he linked it :p

earnest olive
#

9900KS

stoic island
#

if your case only supports 240mm, it's one of, if not the best aio you can get

narrow rose
#

the 5600x is only better than the 10700k because of price not performance

earnest olive
#

the KS stands for Keep Spending

lunar thorn
#

@stoic island or the ek aio one you linked better

stoic island
#

@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

cursive wharf
#

I mean, if ya wanna slap money, custom loop

lunar thorn
#

@stoic island price doesn't matter too much

stoic island
#

hei no

#

no more water leaking

sharp tundra
#

Get a thread ripper and just give the finger to intel

narrow rose
#

in Jay2cents video from today the 10700k beats the 5600x in every game he tests....

lunar thorn
#

But not break the bank and something simple lol

earnest olive
#

what ram speed was used?

stoic island
#

@narrow rose where

earnest olive
#

stock for stock or both oc?

stoic island
#

from GN testing 5600x beats 10700k in everything I saw

#

other than rdr2

sharp tundra
#

Rdr2 sucks anyways

lunar thorn
#

But that ek aio a good one though @stoic island

cursive wharf
#

depends on if you know how to OC really far usually I'd assume

stoic island
#

@narrow rose also, did you see the 2 sticks vs 4 sticks thing GN talked about and tested earlier?

earnest olive
#

apparently GN tests intel stock at actual intel stock rather than power limits unlocked, so their non-oc intel results are lower than most

stoic island
#

EK AIO is a good one

lunar thorn
#

@stoic island ty sir

earnest olive
#

2x16 > 4x8 on most motherboards due to daisy chain topology

stoic island
#

@earnest olive they do have 10900k oc results in a good number of em

earnest olive
#

it's just rank interleaving, nothing new

#

even works on intel

cursive wharf
#

buildzoid already went into Intel platform talking about it some time ago

stoic island
#

Yea I heard him talking about daisy chain vs t topology on intel a while back

narrow rose
#

@stoic island oh yeah 4 sticks always helps and always has over 2 sticks

stoic island
#

but dunno on amd

night iron
#

That is the craziest setup ever @south ermine

earnest olive
#

apparently most amd boards are daisy chain as well

#

mine is daisy chain

#

but i got 2x8 anyways

stoic island
#

oh well

cursive magnet
#

4 sticks is around 10% boost over 2 stick

cursive wharf
#

well, mobo mastersheet can tell us whether that's true

earnest olive
#

so don't really need to care

stoic island
#

I'd like to wait and see

#

yea

narrow rose
#

couldnt find what ram or how much he used both with the 3090

stoic island
#

GN does 3200c14

#

lemme pull up the vid again

south ermine
#

thank you @night iron

stoic island
#

or article if they published one

earnest olive
#

i'm waiting for 3800c16 benchmarks 😦

cursive wharf
#

I was indeed say he had nice 3200 timings but bad 3800 timings

night iron
#

Your welcome enjoy your fantastic room @south ermine

earnest olive
#

i wonder if my ram modules would push any further than 3800mhz with a ryzen 5000 cpu

stoic island
#

yea 3200c14, 3600c16, and 3800c18

earnest olive
#

hynix djr

south ermine
#

I very much will boss

cursive wharf
#

I barely tried and got 3800 15(16 rounded)-15-15-15-30

narrow rose
#

the 5600x did beat the 10700k in one game shadow of the tombraider on 1080p

stoic island
#

who knows

earnest olive
#

currently running 3800 16-16-19-21-36

stoic island
#

@cursive wharf he tested a dif kit for 3800c18 I think

earnest olive
#

dunno if it could hit 4000c18 on ryzen 5000

cursive wharf
#

not until new Agesa

earnest olive
#

that's at 1.4Vdimm so probably

stoic island
#

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

stark tangle
#

Whats better 3600 c16 or 3200c14

stoic island
#

don't remember

cursive wharf
#

Zen3 doesnt like 2000 flck until some new Agesa update last I heard

stoic island
#

3200c14

narrow rose
#

its close though but yeah 3200cl14

stoic island
#

it's b die tho

stark tangle
#

Ooo

earnest olive
#

3200c14 in terms of pure latency but 3600c16 gets you a higher fclk

upbeat bison
#

Ok so

cursive wharf
#

just do 3600c14

deep skiff
#

yes

stoic island
upbeat bison
#

I found a 2700 used for $140

#

should I get it?

stoic island
#

10600k OCed too

stark tangle
#

I have my c16 overclocked to like c15 so I might try to push it down to 14 and see if it goes crashy

upbeat bison
#

I'm running a 7700k

narrow rose
#

or 4666 at cl18

cursive wharf
#

does Intel round CL to highest even digit?

#

if so, that c15 you have is c16

stoic island
#

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?

cursive wharf
#

Im not too into mem OC so idk

stoic island
#

nor am I

#

lel

lunar thorn
#

Dang they are out of stock of that ek aio

stark tangle
#

@stoic island yr the one who helped me with my timings mr im not into memory oc

narrow rose
#

pretty sure intel rounds up and amd rounds down but I could be wrong for CL

cursive wharf
#

mine rounds up

stoic island
#

interesting

cursive wharf
#

c15 shows as c16 in mobo

stoic island
#

did you turn on GDM?

cursive wharf
#

ye

stoic island
#

that MIGHT be it

earnest olive
#

yeah iirc amd does round down unless you have GDM on

#

turns c15 into c14 and causes crashy crash 😄

narrow rose
#

doesnt amd have a bios feature you can turn off to not round down?

lunar thorn
#

@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

earnest olive
#

GDM makes it round up

narrow rose
#

like gear mode or something

stoic island
#

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)_/¯

lunar thorn
#

Ohhh lol I see

narrow rose
#

@earnest olive ah the opposite of what I was thinking and its on by default right? the GDM

lunar thorn
#

So which freeze would you reccomend @stoic island

stoic island
#

freezer ii, whatever fits in the top of your case

#

240mm, 280mm, or 360mm

earnest olive
#

mm not sure if it's on by default

#

i believe it's on by default at JEDEC

stoic island
#

GDM should be off with xmp..?

earnest olive
#

not sure if XMP touches it

lunar thorn
#

I have a fractal design full tower case

stoic island
#

prob 280mm

cursive wharf
#

Mine was set to auto by default. Which I assume is controlled from XMP or initial mem training

stoic island
#

I mean

lunar thorn
#

@stoic island kk

stoic island
#

my xmp is 16-19-19-39 so

earnest olive
#

same

narrow rose
#

amd says its set to auto and turns on when ram speed passes 2666

stoic island
#

I think GDM has to be off for tRCD to be odd

narrow rose
#

that makes sense

stark tangle
#

How to turn off gdm?

stoic island
#

why would you want to

narrow rose
#

bios

stoic island
#

GDM allows you to get 1t CR

#

:D

cursive wharf
#

just get really good kits and get 1t without GDM

still roostBOT
#
Korn#1993 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

stark tangle
#

Whoospie

stoic island
#

@cursive wharf I thought it was necessary above like 3600mhz to use GDM to get 1t

lunar thorn
narrow rose
#

runs at 1.5T instead of 1T or 2T

lunar thorn
#

@stoic island this one?

stoic island
#

wtf is that 3rd party seller

stark tangle
#

I said im at 2t should I be at 1t

earnest olive
#

i can only get 3800C16 stable at 1T with GDM on

stoic island
earnest olive
#

GDM off doesn't boot

cursive wharf
#

no, look at the RAM OC list on #overclocking , seen some people with GDM off at ~3800

stoic island
#

o really

earnest olive
#

i did 3733C16 1T with GDM off though

stoic island
#

oh right

#

I can't use reddit

#

smh

earnest olive
#

probably just depends on how good your modules are

#

i have budget ram

stoic island
#

maybe

deep skiff
#

@stoic island smh my head

#

just get a vpn ez

cursive wharf
#

usually GDM on gives you tighter timings

stoic island
#

you wanna try

#

this laptop too op

#

it resists vpns

narrow rose
#

3733C16 is amazing at 1T just saying @earnest olive

earnest olive
#

well i have 3800C16 1T just with GDM on now

stoic island
#

mhm

#

very nice

narrow rose
#

if GDM is on you are at 1.5T

earnest olive
#

i figured higher FCLK on ryzen is worth turning on GDM

#

3733C16 1T GDM off
3800C16 1T GDM on

narrow rose
#

its more like

#

3733C16 1T vs 3800C16 1.5T

earnest olive
#

the difference is probably negligible anyways but fun to play with

narrow rose
#

true but 3733C16 at 1T is like amazing those are good RAM sticks

earnest olive
#

it was a $68 kit

narrow rose
#

got lucky

#

hynix djr, xmp 3600 16-19-19-39 1.35V

#

my djr can't do like anything above 3600c16 smh

#

16g ram good run all games?

stoic island
#

might need to up voltage

#

I think it's 1.38

narrow rose
#

@lunar thorn yes

earnest olive
#

dimm temps are still sub 40 even at 1.45V

lunar thorn
#

What is more used for? @narrow rose

earnest olive
#

so i figure no problem going up to 1.45

lunar thorn
#

I have people telling me I need 32g

earnest olive
#

but i think my IMC won't go above 1900mhz FCLK anyways

narrow rose
#

workstation tasks like video rendering and playing Star Citizen lol

lunar thorn
#

All I do is play games and such

earnest olive
#

1900mhz FCLK is already good for zen 2

cursive magnet
#

Wows and discord run about 14 gb

narrow rose
#

if a game uses more than 16g its leaking memory

cursive wharf
#

Im surprised my 3100 did 1900 FLCK

#

like, lowest end CPU still gets the nice number

lunar thorn

@stoic island you have an early sample 3800X right?

stoic island
#

mhm

earnest olive
#

it's possible your ram can do over 3600 but your IMC can't

stoic island
#

maybe it's got

#

yea

lunar thorn
#

@stoic island oh only need a 850w

earnest olive
#

have you tried going uncoupled mode just to test your ram's limits

stoic island
#

@earnest olive maybe I'll try 1:2

#

or uncoupled

#

yea haven't yet

earnest olive
#

cause it's kind of unlikely that the ram's maximum stability is xmp tbh

stoic island
#

I also have a b450 board

earnest olive
#

given voltage headroom

stoic island
#

so maybe that

earnest olive
#

which board?

stoic island
#

pro carbon ac

earnest olive
#

those are good for like

#

4133mhz right?

stoic island
#

dunno

#

but do consider it's DR

earnest olive
#

oh

stoic island
#

I don't have SR DJR

earnest olive
#

yeah okay then 3600C16 is already excellent

narrow rose
#

yes it is

stoic island
#

I might still try uncoupled and see if it goes higher

#

3600c16 is xmp >:P

earnest olive
#

probably IMC bottleneck

#

3600C16 DR probably beats 4000C18 SR anyways

lunar thorn
#

So 850w all you need is this a good one?

earnest olive
#

what is your cpu and gpu

stoic island
#

no

#

GA isn't a good 850w unit

lunar thorn
#

Ryzan 7 3600 and 2080

stoic island
#

get a revolution d.f. for 850w

#

...

sharp tundra
#

I wanna see all the techies fight, hurry someone throw something conflicting in between them

earnest olive
#

you definitely do not need 850W

stoic island
#

You can power that with 650w

narrow rose
#

my ram is rated for 4800 but xmp only puts it at 4666CL18 and I dont really care lol

stoic island
#

@sharp tundra Naed wins

earnest olive
#

wow 4666C18

#

how much did that cost you?

lunar thorn
#

Oh perfect thanks!

stoic island
#

there's no contest

narrow rose
#

about $480

sharp tundra
#

Lol

earnest olive
#

yeah makes sense

#

high bin b-die

stoic island
#

lol

#

buy that 5100c18 kit
