do it

earnest olive
#

could be your mobo only supports 4666?

narrow rose
#

if it makes you feel better I notice no difference from the 3600CL16 I replaceed

stoic island
#

lol

narrow rose
#

yeah I think 4666 is the mobo max

cursive magnet
#

@stoic island I need your seal of approval.

stoic island

little osprey
#

Best cheapest AIO?

stoic island
#

cpu is a nein

#

@little osprey arctic freezer ii

earnest olive
#

well I'm a student and not interested in dropping $500 on ram

#

so I feel fine lol

sharp tundra
#

I didn't know mobos had a limit on how fast the ram could be

narrow rose
#

@little osprey freezer ii 240mm

little osprey
#

@stoic island but is it cheap?

stoic island
#

100usd

cursive wharf
#

I wish I could do 3800c14 to feel happy, but cant

sharp tundra
#

I thought just how much space they could have

little osprey
#

o

stoic island
#

anything below that isn't worth an aio

cursive wharf
#

might with 1.55v or smth

little osprey
#

That’s cheap asf

earnest olive
#

also have a ryzen system so >4000mhz ram is not really even a consideration

stoic island
#

it's the best performing aio I know

little osprey
#

Yeh ima go get it

narrow rose
#

@little osprey also the best performing aio

#

in addition to being cheap

little osprey
#

ok yeh

narrow rose
#

intel doesnt seem to care about faster ram as like i said I saw no real increase in fps or anything else for that matter lol

earnest olive
#

don't worry you can flex it on people

#

and that matters more than your gaming experience

narrow rose
#

yeah there is that

earnest olive
stoic island
#

lol

earnest olive
#

you can also pull up an average fps counter and feel vindicated by the slightly higher number

stoic island
#

yes

#

do that

earnest olive
#

who cares if you can't feel it

stoic island
#

adaptive sync

#

:P

earnest olive
#

800.5 > 800

#

big number good

narrow rose
#

yeah when its like 205.4 frames instead of the 205.0 frames I was getting before I feel way better LOL

earnest olive
#

unless it's frametimes

#

800ms frametimes oh no

stoic island
#

lol

cursive wharf
#

800ms frametimes sounds quite good man

stoic island
#

it's soo good for my slideshow presentation

earnest olive
#

powerpoint gamers

narrow rose
#

I did it for you guys so I could advise people against buying stupid expensive ram for no reason

cursive wharf
#

I bought half stupid expensive so I could feel good

earnest olive
#

does anyone know the exact model of fans that are preinstalled in the coolermaster td500 mesh btw?

cursive wharf
#

2x8gb close to price of cheapest 2x16gb

stoic island
#

special

earnest olive
#

can't find it

stoic island
#

special stuff

earnest olive
#

oh is it not normally for sale

stoic island
#

:P

earnest olive
#

i wanna see the noise rating

stoic island
#

that's my conclusion

earnest olive
#

they make a little clicky sound

#

so i'm considering replacing them

#

it's not really that much of a bother though

keen depot
#

Wow have techies just turned this into their home

stoic island
#

shoo

#

get off my lawn

keen depot
#

No

stoic island

Why can't aorus make 1tb rgb nvme m.2's?

olive kraken
#

Guys I'm trying to buy a 3080

#

Help pls

sharp tundra
#

GL

olive kraken
#

Its oos

sharp tundra
#

I salute you soldier

#

Apparently there's a store in Greece that has them in stock

olive kraken
#

Ah

#

Time to make greek friends

sharp tundra
#

But they don't ship to US

#

Yeah, you could do that too

earnest olive
sharp tundra
#

I made a Greek friend😉

earnest olive
#

as close to 650 as i could get it without skimping too hard

olive kraken
#

Could go for used

#

Used gpu

earnest olive
#

kind of amusing that in canada the cheapest 3200c16 set has rgb

#

yeah that's always an option

cursive wharf
#

usually normal for OLOy

sharp tundra
#

Lol

cursive wharf
#

seen that sometimes for US

#

tho OLOy has been not seen as much in lowest price for US recently

earnest olive
#

first time i've seen oloy rgb being the cheapest 2x8 3200c16

#

usually see something like

#

t-force vulcan, g.skill aegis, geil evo phantom

cursive wharf
#

I use to see it a fair few times, been quite a while tho

earnest olive
#

like before 2020?

cursive wharf
#

ye

sharp tundra
#

So guys, I wanna start building PCs as a hobby, how should I go about it?

cursive wharf
#

idk when now tho

earnest olive
#

i only got into computers around january so makes sense

burnt flame
#

thx @earnest olive

sharp tundra
#

Pryvet

earnest olive
#

anyone wanna critique that list i sent him before he buys it

finite sluice
earnest olive
#

i made some sacrifices to meet the budget but it's not too bad i think

cursive wharf
#

@sharp tundra too many variables with that statement. Such as just doing PC flips

sharp tundra
finite sluice
#

Ok ::D

cursive wharf
#

cant do much unless used for a better list

sharp tundra
#

What do you mean too many variables?

olive kraken
#

Yah^

earnest olive
#

@finite sluice it's 314.96mm long which is lower than nzxt h510 368.5mm clearance

#

but if you have a front mounted rad you need to consider that

olive kraken
#

^

finite sluice
#

I don't have a rad, ty for the help ::D

earnest olive
#

oh my bad the nzxt h510 is actually 381mm

#

google pranked me and gave me the result for h510 elite

finite sluice
#

still good

#

lol

cursive wharf
#

@sharp tundra I mean like lifestyle things. Such as, can you just buy every part you want and build 200 PCs for fun

finite sluice
#

Ima be upgrading from the rtx 2060s

earnest olive
#

hm

sharp tundra
#

No, I wish

#

But hopefully I can get to that point

earnest olive
#

if you have a 2060 super already i think it's worth waiting

#

the rx 6700 might land around that price

#

2060 super is not that much weaker than 5700xt

sharp tundra
#

I just wanna build and sell PCs for people

cursive wharf
#

if you want to just build a bunch, might want to look into PC flip business

finite sluice
#

Im gonna be using it for hackintosh

earnest olive
#

oh so you need a radeon gpu right away?

sharp tundra
#

They tell me what they want, or what I recommend, and I build it, they buy it

finite sluice
#

Ehhh

#

Not right away

earnest olive
#

i actually do that @sharp tundra

cursive wharf
#

but that still depends on your location and the demand that's there

finite sluice
#

But there gonna be out of stock forever

#

the 6000s

earnest olive
#

i live in a well-off suburb and pay for advertising though

sharp tundra
#

Yes, I would ship too.

earnest olive
#

location matters a lot

#

shipping pcs is dangerous and expensive

wide sparrow
#

Yes

narrow rose
#

@earnest olive I looked everywhere I think if I was you and really wanted those exact fans and hated the halo I would just find the whole case on sale for 79.99 and get that lol the 3 pack of fans is 59.99 anyway

earnest olive
#

if you're shipping you won't be able to compete pricing-wise with big prebuilt companies

#

costs like $200 to ship an average pc across the country

sharp tundra
#

Oh boi

earnest olive
#

@narrow rose i have the case already i was just curious if noise specs were available for the fans

finite sluice
#

Ship the ram and gpu in another box

#

would that work

sharp tundra
#

Even if I plan on building my own shipping containers?

earnest olive
#

@finite sluice someone buying a prebuilt wants it... pre-built

#

lol

finite sluice
#

point

cursive wharf
#

the PC case itself makes it very pricy from size

#

then there is weight

earnest olive
#

yeah

#

size and weight

cursive wharf
#

no matter what, it'll be pricy

serene spire
#

I’m either gonna be the luckiest person in the world or be sad when the amd 6000 series comes out

cursive wharf
#

be both

serene spire
#

I get paid on the same day that the 6800xt comes out

narrow rose
#

@earnest olive oh well that I did find they are these exact fans just with white plastic but they dont sell them apart from with the case

earnest olive
#

31 dBA huh

#

i bought a bunch of fans to flip today that go up to 24 dBA might be worth replacing..

olive kraken
#

My now no longer friend managed to sell a cpu yesterday and he just told me

sharp tundra
#

@earnest olive do you make people pay you before you build them a pc?

olive kraken
#

He managed to sell an amd 2600

#

With broken pins

sharp tundra
#

Or do you build it, then they pay you?

earnest olive
#

25% deposit over venmo/zelle/cash app

#

then 75% at pickup

olive kraken
#

I officially hate this personne

narrow rose
#

@earnest olive yeah I saw lots of complaints about the fans while searching probably worth replacing

sharp tundra
#

So I assume you have a Blackstock of pc components to accommodate fake customers?

#

Not necessarily fake customers but I think you know what I mean

#

So you're not wasting money buying pc parts for them to cancel on you.

earnest olive
#

the fans i bought go up to 1500 RPM, 26.4 dBA, 59 CFM, 1.78mmH2O
the preincluded fans are up to 2000 RPM, 31 dBA, 62 CFM, 2.14 mmH2O

#

not sure if worth

narrow rose
#

not all the pins on the 2600 do something so if it still works thats no so bad

earnest olive
#

@sharp tundra that's what the deposit is for

cursive wharf
#

wouldnt be much of a waste cuz you still have the parts to use for dif build

earnest olive
#

if they cancel on me i build the pc anyways and sell it

#

so i profit if they cancel

sharp tundra
#

Well yeah, but I assume the deposit isn't covering all the cost of parts

earnest olive
#

my bank account is thankfully not 0

sharp tundra
#

Oh okay

earnest olive
#

lol

#

so yes I eat a few hundred upfront cost

#

but I'm not in dire need of the money so it's fine

lunar thorn
#

So the freeze ii the aio to go with over the ek 360 one

#

Before I pull the trigger

narrow rose
#

over the ek aio right?

#

if so then yes

lunar thorn
#

Yeah

#

Kk @narrow rose ty

sharp tundra
#

So I shouldn't be building PCs for money you think?

narrow rose
#

I mean an ek 360mm custom loop could be a lot better lol

earnest olive
#

well

#

if you can't eat a few thousand dollars upfront cost for 2-3 weeks

#

then it'll be difficult

sharp tundra
#

Well, I definitely can't do that right now

earnest olive
#

sometimes i have 4-5 simultaneous pending orders so anywhere from 2500-4000 upfront cost

finite sluice
#

Wil the 6000 series from amd be out of stock for months?

cursive wharf
#

you can easily do it for money depending on location. Heck, I make 25% - 50% money from where I live

earnest olive
#

you could limit it to one order at a time if you can eat a few hundred - bit more than a thousand

finite sluice
#

kinda like the 3000 from nvidia?

earnest olive
#

but yeah where you live is definitely the most important factor to whether or not you can be successful at it

#

i only mark up 10% cause it's more about getting to have fun building pcs than it is about money for me

#

there's also local competition lol

sharp tundra
#

And even if a customer canceled, how likely do you think i could sell that pc I already spent my money on

cursive wharf
#

local comp is so messed for me

#

it's hilarious

earnest olive
#

i actually charge more than some local competition but i have an impressive cover image and reviews so i still get plenty of business

#

depends on the budget

#

will take longer to flip a $2500 pc than a $500 pc

cursive wharf
#

cuz of my upcharge I go min comp usually

earnest olive
#

you need to be able to eat the upfront costs to do this

sharp tundra
#

Obviously

earnest olive
#

and again depends on where you live

sharp tundra
#

Yeah, I imagined it would cost a bit upfront for me to start

earnest olive
#

i live in silicon valley suburbs, the average customer wants a pc for around $920

#

if you live in a poorer area maybe people looking for $300-400 pcs

cursive wharf
#

am I a terrible person for selling a $750 CAD PC for like $1200 CAD? Yes, yes I am

#

fake techie for me

weak field
#

silicon valley?

#

the ssd company?

night storm
#

Cali

sharp tundra
#

I live in Spokane Valley right now, high chance I might be moving soon though

earnest olive
#

there are two local guys competing with me, one of them charges $75 flat and $10 for part list, one of them is full negotiable so idk how he prices

finite sluice
#

Would the 6700 be out of stock for awhile?

earnest olive
#

i do 10%, free part list, $75 minimum for anything with a glass panel, $50 minimum for anything without

#

but the guy who does $75 flat doesn't have as impressive of a listing and won't talk to you unless you pay upfront

#

so i get business even on builds where i'd charge $1.5k lol

#

@weak field silicon valley is the part of cali with the big tech companies like google and apple

#

in the bay area

sharp tundra
#

So what if I was to require customers to pay in full upfront just at the start, I wouldn't keep it that way, but just so I don't start off with a bunch of cancellations(basically forcing people to go through with the purchase)

earnest olive
#

not gonna lie you probably would get zero business

night storm
#

You could always do a non refundable deposit

earnest olive
#

there's a trust factor involved and if you're new that trust is not in your favor

sharp tundra
#

I figured that was the answer

earnest olive
#

i'm well established and i still only do 25% deposit

night storm
#

Small amount but it keeps more people

sharp tundra
#

Do you charge for labor?

earnest olive
#

uhh labor is the markup lol

night storm
#

That’s the 10% lol

sharp tundra
#

Oh right

weak field
night storm
#

How old are you

sharp tundra
#

20

weak field
#

so i can mail my parts to you

#

and you build it for me

#

for a fee

earnest olive
#

i don't do shipping

#

expensive and dangerous

weak field
#

id pay but true

idle hawk
#

very expensive legos

earnest olive
#

at that point it's more expensive than heading over to NZXT BLD so

weak field
#

🤣 it isss what isssss

earnest olive
#

i sell the equivalent of a $1500 prebuilt for around $1300-1350 but shipping can easily be >200

weak field
#

dang

#

especially with the r0na

earnest olive
#

so yeah i only sell local

idle hawk
#

my she sent her build through ups from PA to cali for like 100

night storm
#

That’s what antivirus is for

earnest olive
#

@idle hawk if something falls apart i'm also liable to pay for return shipping, reassemble/RMA if it's broken, and then ship it back

#

just not worth opening that entire can of worms

idle hawk
#

no ur right

#

im not disagreeing with

weak field
#

is building a pc hard?

idle hawk
#

you

earnest olive
#

no not at all

#

knowing which parts to buy is the harder part

weak field
#

so should have confidence

earnest olive
#

but people here do that for you for free

idle hawk
#

just very expensive legos

weak field
#

and make sure to screw with confidence

earnest olive
#

mm

#

depends on how strong your hands are lol

idle hawk
#

avoid tweezers lmaooo

earnest olive
#

i once broke an AIO standoff from screwing with too much confidence...

#

:/

cloud oasis
#

U can go to bestbuy

idle hawk
#

never go the verge

weak field
#

do i really need snippers and anything other than a screwsdricer

cloud oasis
#

They have a geeksquad thing

weak field
#

driver

viral ore
#

geeksquad Cringe

lunar thorn
#

I have a full tower fractal design what size aio can use?

viral ore
#

depends on the case

earnest olive
#

the only tools you need are:
P2 screwdriver for most screws including motherboard, drives, pcie brackets
P0 screwdriver for m.2 ssds if you have them

sharp tundra
#

I won't be a geeksquad

viral ore
#

"full tower fractal design" isnt a model number

earnest olive
#

pretty much every household has a P2 screwdriver but P0 screwdrivers are less common

weak field
#

p2 and p0

idle hawk
#

let this vid be a reminder of what not do

viral ore
#

old meme

weak field
#

that was my guide...

sharp tundra
#

@earnest olive do you also you do in-house PC maintenance and upgrades?

weak field
#

he had the same case so i thought itd be similiar

earnest olive
#

in-house as in i go to their house?

sharp tundra
#

Cause I kinda wanted to do that too

earnest olive
#

nope

sharp tundra
#

Yes

earnest olive
#

i do repairs/upgrades but i make them bring it to me

#

i'm not going into anyone's house

#

not super interested in getting stabbed

sharp tundra
#

Oh okay, makes sense

earnest olive
#

i meet up in a local park that's about 3 mins from my home, broad daylight only

sharp tundra
#

I figured customer convenience type of thing

night storm
#

Convenient access to your floppy drive

sharp tundra
#

Lol

#

Haha, I got a terrible Park joke

night storm
#

3.5” not the 5.25 am I right

sharp tundra
#

I'm not gonna say it tho

#

Its bad

#

Like, it looks good but its bad.

earnest olive
#

upgrade costs also vary a lot based on what is being upgraded

sharp tundra
#

Well yeah

weak field
#

tell it

sharp tundra
#

Don't send me to prison okay?

night storm
#

If it’s that bad don’t share it

earnest olive
#

minimum $30 for simple stuff like adding a drive, adding ram, adding gpu, etc, it's not $30 worth of labor but there's still overhead for my time communicating with them and meeting up

idle hawk
#

all i can say depending on what you upgrade depends on else youll need to upgrade most parts are relative to each other

earnest olive
#

for a case + mobo upgrade i actually charge more than i do for a new build

#

since it's the labor of 2 builds pretty much lol

#

have to disassemble everything and re-do cable management

weak field
#

you got a recommended screwdriver or set for building a pc @earnest olive

idle hawk
#

bleach am i right?

sharp tundra
#

A man is sitting at the park and a lady ask him, "Which ones yours?", the man says, "I'm still deciding."

earnest olive
#

i have the ifixit 48-bit screwdriver set but really all you need is P2 and P0

#

magnetic screwdriver is nice if you have

night storm
#

Mmm mhmm. Human trafficking nice

earnest olive
#

ehh you can upgrade a lot of things without needing to upgrade anything else

#

like drives, ram, case

#

it depends

sharp tundra
#

I plan on getting an ifixit kit

#

The pro tech one

earnest olive
#

alright i got an exam in half an hour so i'm gonna do some last minute review

idle hawk
#

good luck

earnest olive
#

if you have any questions my dms are open

sharp tundra
#

Ight, later

idle hawk
#

pray for that 100

earnest olive

i'm feeling pretty good about this exam

Good luck

best you can get for 800$

idle hawk
#

if i buy it ima sell at a decent price

weak field
#

unless theres a used 5600xt

balmy patio
#

sharp tundra
#

What if, I sold you my whole system for a 3080?

balmy patio
#

idle hawk
#

balmy patio
#

waiting fro black friday tho

sharp tundra

I wouldn't have anything to put it in anyways lol

balmy patio
#

ahhh black friday

sharp tundra
#

30series is definitely not going on sale for black friday

balmy patio

idle hawk
#

black friday will be a desert

jade dock
#

which card

#

i wanna geta 1650s

sharp tundra
#

No you dont

#

Rx 5600xt

jade dock
#

what so good about that

polar anvil
#

i heard amd drivers are bad

balmy patio
#

ok so in electronics, the average percentage is about 35-40%

polar anvil
#

true?

sharp tundra
#

It compares to a 2060 for about $200 less

balmy patio
#

amd drivers got fixed for 5000 series cards iiirc

polar anvil
#

35-40% off

balmy patio
#

yeah

jade dock
#

oh dang

raw mist
#

anything?
@polar anvil so do u need a monitor or nah? im almost done the build.

viral ore
#

amd had bad drivers. they are no longer bad tho

balmy patio
#

^^

idle hawk
#

black friday will be bad for newegg

polar anvil
#

yeah i do

jade dock
#

does new egg have sales already

polar anvil
#

amazon better have good deals

idle hawk
#

their 3080 release was worse then black friday

balmy patio
#

lmao

#

where i live im glad that ppl don't bunch of on black friday, even tho its a big city

raw mist
#

yeah i do
@polar anvil k thats gonna have to be outside the 800 dollar budget as im at like 850 rn haha

polar anvil
#

what about online black friday

balmy patio
#

cyber monday?

polar anvil

whats a good prosscer for a $600 budget

idle hawk
#

just put a fake post of a 3080 on ebay lmaooo jk

raw mist
#

@polar anvil also bro u may not get 144hz on maxed out settings, but if u bring the settings down a tiny bit ull get it

jade dock
#

@sharp tundra lmao

balmy patio
#

so if my math is correct which i doubt it is, 40% off of 2k is 800

sharp tundra
#

Joker, send me pics of your 3080 box

polar anvil
#

yeah i trya to play fortnite on competevie setting so pretty much all low setttings

sharp tundra
#

And the 3080

#

I'm gonna do it

balmy patio
#

bruh joker has a pic of a 2070s next to a 3080

#

(box)

raw mist
#

yeah i trya to play fortnite on competevie setting so pretty much all low setttings
@polar anvil oh fortnite? is that the main game cus then i can scrap the gpu and save a lot of money for u

polar anvil

idle hawk
#

lmaooo

balmy patio
#

ahhh

idle hawk

balmy patio
#

ok jus to reference, @raw mist are we talking about Mike's list?

raw mist
#

ok jus to reference, @raw mist are we talking about Mike's list?
@balmy patio yeah why

balmy patio
#

oh ok

sharp tundra
#

Soo?

balmy patio
#

so he said he wanted to wait till black friday, the deals are normally 40% off, so in the end, he's prolly gonna get a pc at a 2k budget and only pay 800-900 dollar, which is what he is willing to spend iirc

raw mist
#

@polar anvil bro do u want a curved or flat monitor?

#

@balmy patio ohhh okkk

idle hawk
#

no nomad ur getting in trouble

polar anvil
#

which do you recommend

raw mist
#

its a personal prefernece

#

i like curved but some ppl like flat

polar anvil
#

flat i guess

raw mist
#

ok then

sharp tundra
#

Ur no fun

raw mist
#

haha

jade dock
#

curved is weird

#

its like idk

#

u hafve to look more

balmy patio
#

i like to have a small curve

jade dock
#

like look left and right

balmy patio
#

makes me feel more inmersive into what im doing, if that's the correct word

jade dock
#

true

idle hawk
#

curves are always nice :3

balmy patio
#

i mean a curved 27in aint that bad

idle hawk
#

many curves

jade dock
#

i think for racing games curved moniters give u a better feel

idle hawk
#

lmaoooo

polar anvil
#

i heard build a pc is not hard just the cable management

idle hawk
#

wink wink nudge nudge

sharp tundra
#

Someone build me a pc, my budget is $10k

jade dock
#

yea cable manege ment is hard asf

balmy patio
#

cable management is easy if you keep track of the cables... which is hard

jade dock
#

get 2 titans rtx 1 3090 amd threadripper 4th gen 128gb of ram 5tb ssd some good motherboard that fits the amd thread ripper

balmy patio
#

no

jade dock
#

and u prolly have money for a 360hz moniter

lunar thorn
#

850w power supply ok for a 3090

idle hawk
#

i cant wait for my case tomorrow

jade dock
#

i forgot about the 3090

balmy patio
#

it depends what you have @lunar thorn

lunar thorn
#

Ryzan 7 3600

idle hawk
#

im kinda nervous for tomorrow

lunar thorn
#

Would 1000w be better for a 3090

polar anvil
#

@raw mist

idle hawk
#

the new case is coming tomorrow

polar anvil
#

send a pic of case

fast smelt
#

ok i know this might be asking a lot but a friend want's a starter pc for a budget of 500-600 it may be asking a lot but he's new to building as am i

idle hawk
balmy patio
#

@lunar thorn im sure it'll be fine paired up with a 3600

neat mortar
#

hey guys are my graphics card fans so pose to spin as soon as i turn on my ox?

#

pc*

sacred knot
#

i got the same one today 😄

balmy patio
#

@fast smelt i think i made a list with that budget earlier today when i was bored

lunar thorn
#

@balmy patio would it be better just to get a 1000w ?

balmy patio
#

@neat mortar not all graphics cards fans spin at idle

#

@balmy patio would it be better just to get a 1000w ?
@lunar thorn if you're looking to upgrade in the future, possibly

fast smelt
#

ok im looking for it @balmy patio thanks

balmy patio
#

no but i didnt post it

#

ill see if i find it somewhere

raw mist
#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GhvFgt @polar anvil ok imma keep it real with u, i dont know much about the monitors, so u might wanna do sum research in that department, also same with the gpu, the 5700xt is great, but idk about the model i just picked the one with good reviews on pcpartpicker. alos @balmy patio lmk what u think

System Builder
balmy patio
#

i dont think he'll need a tomahawk

its so hard to budget with this pandemic its crazy

balmy patio
#

@fast smelt what will your friend be using the computer for?

jade dock
#

exactly

#

is micro center to expensive

raw mist
#

i meant to put the b550a pro mb @balmy patio

balmy patio
#

opposite

jade dock
#

of what

balmy patio
#

micro center has cheaper things but for some ppl, like me, its not worth it since they might live far from them

#

i meant to put the b550a pro mb @balmy patio
@raw mist fair enough

lunar thorn
#

@balmy patio thanks

#

Now I just need to wait for a freez ii to pop in stock

balmy patio
#

np 🙂

fast smelt
#

@balmy patio average everday gaming like minecraft, Streaming videos/movies, and schoolwork no overclocking is what he told me

jade dock
#

nearest micro center is 30 mins

lunar thorn
#

I have a full tower fractal design case what size can I put in

balmy patio
#

ahhh, will he be confortable using an igpu then?

lunar thorn
#

Is 280mm a good size

balmy patio
#

vega 11 isnt that bad on the 3200g

fast smelt
#

possibly

balmy patio
#

ok good

#

he'll prob be alble to average like 60-70 fps on med-low settings

round river
#

will using an nvidia GPU let me use my freesync monitor to stabilize my screen from things like screen tearing?

wait no

fast smelt
#

hm?

balmy patio

his budget is 500

whole harbor
#

OH LOL

#

why does it say

#

Incompatible

fast smelt
#

bios update

balmy patio
#

im pretty sure it comes with a bios update at this point in time

#

unless you somehow end up with an old one

whole harbor
#

if he ups his budget to $650

#

he can get a 1650 supet

#

Super

#

For around 650$

balmy patio
#

ill see

whole harbor
#

wait nvm thats bad

fast smelt

@weak field what u getting?

weak field

send you the list in a sec

Can't decide between vertical gpu or horizontal. If I go vertical I have to go with AIO. If I go vertical I won't be able to see the rgb ram.

weak field
#

vertical screwing you either way?

little osprey
#

I'm having an issue with one of my nvme ssd's

#

One of them won't stay all the way down and it's sending a fault code thru my desktop when it tries to boot up

pliant escarp
#

But it would be really nice to see the face of the gpu for once

#

It's a really hard call for me

little osprey
#

@pliant escarp which gives you better cooling?

#

That's the one I'd go for

weak field
little osprey
#

TBH, I wish gpu fans faced up instead

#

@weak field 👍

gaunt vortex
#

I assume, but do not know for a fact, that "flat" or "fans down" will work better for RTX 30s.

#

But that might also depend a lot on the case.

little osprey
#

Hey r2-d2 you typing a book?

pliant escarp
#

@little osprey For gpu temps? Minimal difference. It's just that if I mount gpu vertical I pretty much have no other choice but to go AIO for the cpu. There's really no air cooler on the market under 76mm that can effectively cool a 105 TDP chip comfortably. Sticking a liquid cooler in a $4000 system gives me too much anxiety.

little osprey
#

True

gaunt vortex
#

if I went vertical with my incoming founders card anyway, it would be blowing exhaust air directly onto my NVMEs, which I am not wild about.

little osprey
#

Also true

#

@gaunt vortex atleast your nvmes work

gaunt vortex
#

I already have an AIO, so the exhaust will vent out the back before it ever gets to the top-mounted radiator. In theory.

#

But looks wise I think I'd rather have it vertical, just so I can look at it lovingly.

little osprey
#

I would go vertical, but not enough room

pliant escarp
#

Man building mid towers is like a walk in the park. As soon you hit ITX it's like a massive puzzle of compatibility and battle for aesthetics.

#

Think I'm just gonna go horizontal. I imagine I won't be spending much time looking at my own PC when I'm pushing about 100 frames in 4k.

bruh

#

lmao

#

that psu

weak field
#

wbi!

stoic island
#

@vivid shuttle what's with that case

weak field
#

?

vivid shuttle
#

it's a poggers case

stoic island
#

...

#

airflow

weak field
#

that psu better than a seasonic one

vivid shuttle
#

I needed a toaster anyway

#

so the case is a 2 in 1

weak field
#

oh bet

stoic island
#

oh you wanted a toaster oven

#

that works

weak field
#

imma have to cop me one too

lunar thorn
#

Is the evga psu good looking for a 1000w one

weak field
#

why does everyone need a 1kw psu now

stoic island
#

@lunar thorn again

vivid shuttle
#

because if you want a toaster and a pc you need more watt

stoic island
#

you need less than 850w

solid verge
#

people need to use a power calculators

stoic island
#

no

weak field
#

agreed

solid verge
#

not everyone lives in the us having the stores available tho or the specific parts

stoic island
#

what

#

@solid verge that's why there's regional specific pcpp

weak field
#

it goes to your region you know this?

solid verge
#

let me check

#

where do you choose?

stoic island
#

top right

#

flag

solid verge
#

fair amount of regions ngl

#

but dont have mine

stoic island
#

where

solid verge
#

better learn compatibility than wait for an automated system...i mena it doesnt take much

#

greece

#

and not to forget the bios issue c:

#

i mean i havent used the site much

#

so idk what its capable of

stoic island
#

eh

solid verge
#

we ave local vendors and i prefer receiving it from the store point rather than having it shipped. idk what changes in the cost. but i would guess that shipment bring it to equally whatit costs here

#

lemme give it a try

stoic island
#

I mean, afaik amazon.de ships to a large portion of Europe for free

elfin jackal
#

Just want to confirm

solid verge
#

it doesnt ship for free to us

stoic island
#

One question

#

why?

#

that's an interesting list

elfin jackal
#

Why it's interesting?

#

What's wrong

stoic island
#

Let's see, starting with the z73

#

why?

elfin jackal
#

I like the LCD monitor

stoic island
#

it's what, 250$

#

...

elfin jackal
#

air cooling is fine?

stoic island
#

Even an aio

#

just

#

not a 250$ aio

#

makes no sense

solid verge
#

where will you buy the 3070?

stoic island
#

you can spend that money to get a 3080 instead of a 3070

arctic jungle
#

mm

#

why that mobo?

stoic island
#

yep

elfin jackal
#

Hmmm

stoic island
#

we're just going down the list one item at a time xD

#

Yea why that mobo

#

it hasn't been at MSRP for ages

arctic jungle
#

mm

stoic island
#

it's decent when it is at msrp

arctic jungle
#

asus mobo good rgb icue corsair

stoic island
#

but cost

arctic jungle
#

also

#

ur fans

#

and ram

elfin jackal
#

where will you buy the 3070?
@solid verge no idea

arctic jungle
#

don't match

stoic island
#

@arctic jungle let's go one at a time

#

mobo time

arctic jungle
#

mk

stoic island
#

So, why that mobo.

solid verge
#

cpu and gpu dont have a vendor so you need to check the cost just saying

tame hazel
#

what do you guys think

elfin jackal
#

So, why that mobo.
You mean my motherboard?

stoic island
#

Yes.

tame hazel
stoic island
#

@tame hazel you know Noctua makes 200mm fans right

elfin jackal
#

I heard it can give enough juice to the cpu

stoic island
#

and the 140mm fans don't work for 200mm mounting

#

ahem

#

150mm

tame hazel
#

my case supports all 3 sizes

#

and i have 200mm f ans

stoic island
#

I seriously doubt it supports a15

#

mounting is really weird

tame hazel
#

wait ur saying its actually 150MM?

stoic island
#

@tame hazel look at them

#

they're 150mm fans

#

with 140mm mounting

tame hazel
#

I see

solid verge
#

oh forgot to say

#

reason i dont order from outside is also because customs

stoic island
solid verge
#

i havent had any experience but i have read countless negative interactions

tame hazel
#

what you think of this , this is what the case supports Front: 3 x 120mm, 2 x 140mm, 2 x 200mm
Top:
8 x 120mm, 6 x 140mm, 2 x 200mm
Rear:
2 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm
Bottom:
3 x 120mm
Left / Right Side:
4 x 120mm, 3 x 140mm

stoic island
#

front 2x200mm, top use 8x120mm, rear use 2x140mm, left use 4x120mm, bottom 3x120mm

#

if you want to fill those

arctic jungle
#

@elfin jackal try this

tame hazel
#

so dont get the 140mm / 150mm at all?

#

oh i see

arctic jungle
#

it has all the prices listed

#

oh crap

#

no cpu price

#

well it's a 2.5k build

stoic island
#

@tame hazel they're made for their heatsinks

#

look at the NH-D15

arctic jungle
#

including monitor

elfin jackal
#

Oh wow

tame hazel
#

what fan should I be using @stoic island ?

stoic island
#

Noctua 200mm fans

#

NF-a12x25 for 120mm

elfin jackal
#

Thanks Antago

stoic island
#

nf-a14 for 140mm

#

forgot 200mm name

uncut pelican
#

Good evening

tame hazel
#

what do you think of the rest of the build @stoic island ?

stoic island
#

you know what I have against the AIO right

#

and that mobo's price

#

and that ram

tame hazel
#

AIO no?

#

and ram no lol

stoic island
#

aio overpriced

#

for not the greatest performance

#

Freezer ii 280mm beats that 360mm aio iirc

#

@tame hazel that ram

#

makes

#

no

#

sense

#

it's wide

#

it's expensive

#

it's low freq

#

why

#

why why why

tame hazel
#

RGB? lol

stoic island
#

Trident z neo 3600c16

#

at least

#

not that crap

tame hazel
#

whats the best ram?

arctic jungle
stoic island
#

wait for SN850

arctic jungle
#

take this

#

who had z73 in list?

elfin jackal
#

Me...

arctic jungle
stoic island
#

SN850 will perform better than 980 pro

cyan hedge
#

what is up with this compatibility note: The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled.

stoic island
#

otherwise it's just pricing

#

you can spend whatever you want

cyan hedge
#

is that going to be an issue

tame hazel
#

good tips thanks!

cyan hedge
#

hi comrade

stoic island
#

hi

#

@cyan hedge if you use the M.2 slot, you can't use one of the sata ports

cyan hedge
stoic island
#

eh too lazy to edit rn

cyan hedge
#

that's okay, no worries

stoic island
#

basically once you slap the SSD in, you can't use one of the (I think) 6 SATA ports

#

the rest will still be usable

cyan hedge
#

okay awesome

#

thank you for helping me understand it

I'm a little out of my comfort zone. I built my own PC back in 2017, but I had help from Microcenter to make sure everything would work together well. And now I'm building a pc for my dad

Screw it. Going AIO. God this has been a real back and forth.

violet harness

You can get a legit one for 2$ on eBay

@cyan hedge Samsung 970 is overpriced you can get a cheaper nvme that’s also 1tb

#

I also suggest getting an amd cpu instead of intel

tame hazel
#

@stoic island what motherboard would you go with for my build?

#

yeah AMD is dominating the CPU and GPU market now

stoic island
#

X570 unify

#

:D

tame hazel
#

stoic island
#

yes

#

overpriced

gritty zenith
#

stoic island
#

gritty zenith

tame hazel
#

gritty zenith
#

#

pliant escarp
#

So cooler master says the bottom of the NR200P supports up to a 240 radiator but should only be used for custom loops. Does anyone have any idea why this is?

#

Kinda odd that they don't note the specific reason why that's reserved for custom loops.

simple answer : Not good for AIOs

Since AIO pumps are on the CPU block, and pump being above rad = air bubbles in pump
